A RARE VARIATION OF ACCESSORY FLEXOR CARPI ULNARIS MUSCLE: A CASE
REPORT
Normally exor carpi ulnaris arises as two heads one from humerus and another from ulna. During the routine dissection of undergraduate medical students a rare variation of exor carpi ulnaris was found. A fully developed additional muscle belly was found on the exor compartment of the left forearm. The additional muscle belly was found medial to exor carpi ulnaris and it had a eshy part and a tendinous part. Fleshy part was coming from ulnar head of exor carpi ulnaris and the tendon was getting inserted to exor retinaculum. There was no separate nerve and blood supply to the accessory muscle bers. Variations in the forearm muscles are of utmost importance both anatomically as well as clinically and may be anticipated to avoid complications during reconstructive surgical procedures.
