ABSTRACT
During routine dissection classes to under graduate medical students, we observed an anomalous flexor carpi ulnaris muscle associated with abnormal ulnar nerve and ulnar artery in the distal part of forearm. There was an additional belly arising from the lower part of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and crossed ulnar nerve and vessels, median nerve and ended in a broad aponeurosis which crossed the tendons of flexor digitorum superficialis and merged with the deep fascia and flexor retinaculum. The ulnar nerve and ulnar artery divided into their terminal branches in the lower part of the forearm. However, the distribution of the terminal branches of both ulnar nerve and artery were normal. An understanding of these unusual findings may be clinically relevant in describing the anterior compartment of the forearm.
RESUMEN
Durante una disección de rutina en clases para estudiantes de Medicina, se observó una anomalía del músculo flexor ulnar del carpo asociado con una variación del nervio y arteria ulnar, en la parte distal del antebrazo. Un vientre adicional derivado de la parte inferior del músculo flexor ulnar del carpo cruzaba el nervio ulnar y vasos ulnares, nervio mediano y terminaba en una amplia aponeurosis la cual cruzaba los tendones del músculo flexor superficial de los dedos y se fusionaba con la fascia profunda y el retináculo flexor. El nervio ulnar y la arteria ulnar se dividían en sus ramas terminales, en la parte inferior del antebrazo. Sin embargo, la distribución de las ramas terminales tanto del nervio ulnar como de la arteria ulnar eran normales. La comprensión de estos inusuales hallazgos pueden ser clínicamente relevantes para describir el compartimiento anterior del antebrazo.
