Termination Of The Common Facial Vein Into The Anterior Jugular Vein: A Rare Case Report

The facial vein drains the facial region of our body. It unites with the anterior division of the retromandibularvein to form the common facial vein. In this case report, the retromandibular vein was seen dividing normallyinto the anterior and posterior divisions. The posterior division was seen uniting with the posterior auricularvein to form the external jugular vein. Formation and course of the external jugular vein was normal. The anteriordivision of the retromandibular vein was uniting with the facial vein to form the common facial vein, which wasdraining into the anterior jugular vein instead of the internal jugular vein.

Supernumerary Heads Of Biceps Brachii With Median Nerve And Brachial Vessels Passing Through The Third Head

A rare case of four-headed biceps brachii was observed during routine dissection on 60-year -old female oldcadaver. The short head and long head had normal origin. The third head was originating from the humerusbelow the insertion of coracobrachialis, whereas fourth head was coming from the greater tubercle of thehumerus. The median nerve and brachial vessels were passing through the third head. These variations areimportant because they could compress median nerve and brachial vessels

Incidence Of The Third And Fourth Head Of The Biceps Brachii Muscle In Caucasian Race – A Study And Review Of Literature

Anatomic variations in the heads of biceps brachii are not uncommon. It varies from one head to seven heads buttwo heads (long and short) are considered normal. In this study, 56 arms from 28 cadavers were studied for thirdand fourth heads in the anatomy laboratory of Weill Cornell Medicine. We observed supernumerary heads in 5cadavers (8.92%), out of which three heads were seen in 4 cadavers (7.14%) and four heads in only one cadaver(1.78%). Clinically, these kinds of anomalies are important because supernumerary heads could compressneighboring blood vessels and nerves.
