Muscle variants are routinely encountered in the dissection laboratory and in clinical practice and therefore anatomists and clinicians need to be aware of their existence.Here USB HDD Docking Stations we describe two different accessory muscles identified while performing educational dissection of a 51-year-old male cadaver.Tensor fasciae suralis, a rare muscle variant, was identified bilaterally and accessory flexor digitorum longus, a more common muscle variant, was present unilaterally.
Tensor fasciae suralis and accessory flexor digitorum longus are clinically relevant muscle variants.To our knowledge, the coexistence of MACA tensor fasciae suralis and accessory flexor digitorum longus in the same individual has not been reported in either cadaveric or imaging studies.
