“A Study on Accessory Muscle of Flexor Compartment of Forearm”
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
During routine anatomical dissections, the presence of the accessory muscle in the flexor aspect of the forearm was noted . This accessory muscle presents an intimate relationship with the median nerve. This variation may be clinically important because symptoms of median nerve compression arising from similar variations are often confused with more common causes, such as radiculopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome . The muscular variations of upper limb are common. Methods: During routine dissection classes to undergraduate medical students, we came across additional muscle bellies in the flexor compartment of forearm arising from the under surface of flexor digitorum superficialis(FDS) and inserted to flexor pollicis longus (FPL) separately. Origin, insertion, nerve supply and its relation was noted . Results: presence of accessory muscles(Ganzters muscle) was noted.
