ABSTRACT

Although the sternalis muscle has been well known to anatomists, it is quite unfamiliar to clinicians. During routine educational dissection, we came across a well-defined bilateral double sternalis muscle innervated by the intercostal nerve, respectively. The right sternalis muscle 1) became tendinous to insert into the sternum and 2) crossed midline and then intermingled with the left pectoralis major muscle, which could be classified into a double with single cross based on Snosek et al.'s criteria. The left sternalis muscle was composed of two bellies, which were combined at the midway, and became tendinous to insert into the contralateral manubrium, which could be classified into a bicipital diverging with double cross based on Snosek et al.'s criteria. The detailed knowledge on the sternalisis is important for clinicians as well as for anatomists, since the clinical importance of the sternalis muscle has been highlighted in recent years.

ABSTRACT

The anatomical variation of the major pectoral muscles is infrequent, namely the agenesis of the pectoralis major muscle due to the morpho-functional alterations it causes. On the other hand, he presence of -supernumerary - pectoral muscles is not common and its physiological, clinical or surgical importance will depend on the stage of its development. The important aspect is that these muscles, while crossing the anterior wall of the axila and inserting in the humerus, may confuse or difficult surgical access to the content of the axillary fossa. Pectoralis tertius muscles were found in two dissected cadavers at the Topographic Anatomy of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad de La Frontera, Chile. These muscles were bilateral and independent of the pectoralis major muscle. They originated in the external face of the sixth rib and adjacent regions, and inserted in the coracoid process, the crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus, or next to the insertion of the pectoralis major muscle, contributing to the formation of the anterior wall of the axila. The supernumerary muscles crossing the axillary region, whether in an arched form or elongated as the pectoralis tertius muscles, may confuse the surgeon at the entrance of the axila. In view of the above, it is always necessary to consider the possible existence of this type of anatomical variation.


La variación del músculo pectoral mayor es frecuente, siendo la agenesia de este músculo causante de alteraciones morfofuncionales. Por otro lado, la presencia de un músculo pectoral supernumerario no es común y su importancia fisiológica, clínica o quirúrgica va a depender del estado de su desarrollo. Los importancia de estos músculos radica en que ellos cruzan la pared anterior de la axila y se insertan en el húmero, lo que puede confundir o dificultar el acceso quirúrgico al contenido de la fosa axilar. Músculos pectorales terceros fueron encontrados en dos cadáveres disecados en la Facultad de Medicina de Universidad de La Frontera, Chile. Estos músculos eran bilaterales e independientes del músculo pectoral mayor. Ellos se originaban en la cara externa de la sexta costilla y regiones adyacentes y se insertaban en el proceso coracoides, cresta del tubérculo mayor del húmero o próximo a la inserción del músculo pectoral mayor, contribuyendo a la formación de la pared anterior de la axila. Los músculos supernumerarios que cruzan la región axilar, ya sea en una forma arqueada o alargada como los músculos pectorales terceros, pueden confundir al cirujano en la entrada a la axila. En vista de lo anterior, siempre es necesario considerar la posible existencia de este tipo de variaciones anatómicas.

ABSTRACT

During routine dissection practice a supernumerary muscle was found on the right side infraclavicular region of a male cadaver. This muscle was arising from the superior surface of the first rib and its coastal cartilage and inserted to a thick ligament that extended from the medial end of the suprascapular notch to the capsule of the acromioclavicular joint. This accessory muscle slip was innervated by a branch from the nerve to subclavius. According to its location and innervation the aberrant muscle was considered to be the subclavius posticus. The anatomic relationships of the muscle make it clinically significant.


Durante una disección de rutina, un músculo supernumerario fue encontrado en el lado derecho de la región infraclavicular de una cadáver de sexo masculino. Este músculo se originaba de la superficie superior de la primera costilla y cartílago costal y se insertaba en un grueso ligamento que se extendía desde la parte medial de la incisura supraescapular a la cápsula de la articulación acromioclavicular. Este músculo estaba inervado por un ramo del nervio subclavio. De acuerdo a su localización e inervación el músculo aberrante fue considerado como el músculo subclavio posticus. Las relaciones anatómicas del músculo tienen significancia clínica.

ABSTRACT

The latissimus dorsi muscle is a flat and triangular muscle that covers the lumbar region and the inferior part of thorax. This muscle supplied by thoracodorsal nerve(C6, C7,C8), a branch of posterior cord of brachial plexus. Many reports showed that a muscular axillary arch , flat muscle arising from lateral border of latissimus dorsi , may be seen in 7% of the population, but there is little information about the innervation of this part. This report deals with dissecting the axillary region of a 41 year-old male cadaver in which we observed a muscular axillary arch was innervated by a single nerve branch of pectoral loop.


El músculo latísimo del dorso es un músculo triangular aplanado que cubre la región lumbar y la parte inferior del tórax. Este músculo está inervado por el nervio toracodorsal (C6, C7,C8), un ramo del fascículo posterior del plexo braquial. Algunos reportes han mostrado que el arco muscular de la axila, es un músculo aplanado que se origina desde el borde lateral del músculo latísimo del dorso y que ha sido encontrado en el 7% de la población, pero es poca la información existente acerca, de la inervación del mismo. Se relata un caso de arco muscular de la axila encontrado en una disección de un cadáver de sexo masculino de 41 años, en el cual se observó la inervación del músculo por un simple nervio ramo del arco pectoral.
