ABSTRACT
In submental and around the mouth areas, the superfacial muscles are considered in surgery of some deformities of mouth angle. Herein, we report a rare case of the Transversus menti muscle (TM) in a Thai 74 year-old male cadaver. This TM originated from both sides of the oblique line of depressor anguli oris and formed as transverse fibers in submental area. Their fiber ran under the chin and was superficial to platysma muscle. The TM was innervated and supplied by mandibular branches of facial nerve and small branches of the submental artery. This report attempted to discuss the possible function and clinical significance of the TM.
RESUMEN
Alrededor de la boca y en áreas submentonianas, los músculos superficiales son considerados en la cirugía de algunas deformidades del ángulo de la boca. Este estudio presenta un caso raro de músculo transversus menti (TM), en un cadáver tailandés de sexo masculino de 74 años de edad. El músculo TM se originó a partir de los dos lados de la línea oblicua del músculo depresor del ángulo oral y se formó como fibras transversales en el área submentoniana. Sus fibras se desplazaron debajo del mentón y superficialmente al platisma. El músculo TM estaba inervado e irrigado por ramos mandibulares de nervio facial y pequeñas ramas de la arteria submentoniana. Se discute su posible función y el significado clínico del músculo TM.
