A case report of subclavius posticus muscle
Özet
Objective: Subclavius posticus muscle is an aberrant muscle in the root of neck between scapula and first rib cartilage. Presence of that accessory muscle in the neck may cause of thoracic outlet syndrome. We aimed to demonstrate the variation of the subclavius posticus muscle according to 60 years old male cadaver in this paper.
Methods: We observed during the routine cadaver dissections in our department laboratory that a unilateral existence of the subclavius posticus muscle. The clavicule was removed from sternal and acromial articulation for better view of area and anatomical structures.
Results: The subclavius posticus muscle was observed on the left side of the cadaver. The proximal end of the muscle was attached to the costal cartilage of the first rib. The distal end was inserted to the upper side of scapula where the inferior belly of omohyoid muscle ends. The muscle passed superficial to subclavian vessels and the brachial plexus.
Conclusion: We believe that the variation we defined in this study be beneficial for the radiological and neurological studies as well as surgical operations related to that area.
