An unusual variation of extensor digitorum brevis manus: a case report and literature review.

An unusual variation of the extensor digitorum brevis manus in a male cadaver is presented. The band-shaped muscle was located at the ulnar side of the hand between the fourth and fifth extensors. It originated from the deep carpal fascia and inserted to the extensor tendons of the fourth and fifth fingers with a tendon and a slip, respectively. The origin, insertion, and location of the muscle differ from those previously reported; with these anatomic features, the muscle variation cannot be placed into the current classifications. The phylogenetic and ontogenetic implications of the muscle are reviewed.

Cadaver

A variation of coeliac trunk.

The anatomical variations of the coeliac trunk are due to developmental changes in the ventral splanchnic arteries. This report describes a case in which the left inferior phrenic artery and left gastric artery arose from the long coeliac trunk (4.3 cm.) via a common trunk. The arterial variations, like other anatomical variations, cannot be ignored during the operative procedures in abdomen. Therefore the different forms of variations concerning the coeliac trunk should be kept in mind during both surgical and non-surgical evaluations.

Aged

Celiacomesenteric trunk.

The celiac trunk is the widest ventral branch of the abdominal aorta. The unusual embryological development of the ventral splanchnic arteries can lead to considerable variations. During the dissection of a 54-year-old male cadaver as a rare variation, a celiacomesenteric trunk was observed. The rare occurrence of this variation is stated to be 1%-2.7%. As in the other case, the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric arteries arose from a common trunk at the level of L1. This case of celiacomesenteric trunk is described in detail, which can be of value in the operative procedures of the upper abdomen.

Celiac Artery

An accessory mylohyoid muscle.

During dissection of the submandibular region of a forty year old male a unilateral left accessory mylohyoid muscle was revealed. This muscle was located between the left anterior belly of the digastric and left mylohyoid muscles. It arose from the left mylohyoid line of the mandible and was inserted into the lower portion of the mylohyoid raphe and hyoid bone. This unilateral accessory mylohyoid muscle is a rare anomaly, which is thought to contribute to the functional support of the floor of the mouth.

Adult

The accessory tendon of the extensor indicis muscle.

The extensor indicis and the extensor pollicis longus muscles differentiates from the extensor digitorum profundus muscle. The extensor indicis muscle is an unstable muscle concerning its variations. Kosugi (1989) found the frequency of variations of this muscle to be 20% and described 18 different types of variations of this muscle. This study describes a rare case of the extensor indicis muscle. The extensor indicis muscle develops an accessory tendon in between the extensor indicis and extensor pollicis longus muscle. It passes under the extensor retinaculum. At the level of 2nd metacarpal bone, the accessory extensor indicis tendon is connected to the tendon of the extensor pollicis longus muscle by a intertendinous connection.
