Third Head of Biceps Brachii – A Case Report

Abstract

The biceps brachii is the muscle of the flexor compartment of the arm. The muscle takes its origin by two heads, short and long head. The present paper is to document the variation in the origin of biceps brachii which the authors encountered during the routine dissection. In the routine postgraduate dissection it was found that the variation in the origin pattern of the biceps brachii muscle, along with the normal two heads (short and long) the third head was seen which took origin from the shaft of the humerus. The knowledge of such additional head of the biceps brachii will enhance the preoperative evaluation, facilitate the surgical intervention and prevent the post operative complications.
