Variation of posterior deltoid muscle
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
During a routine dissection, bilateral posterior variants of the deltoid muscle, with an interesting orientation of muscle fibers, was discovered on a 78-year-old female cadaver. These variants show an almost perpendicular orientation to the expected direction of deltoid muscle fibers and are not consistent with any other expected muscle bellies in the region. Consideration should be given to variant muscles during clinical assessments and surgical procedures.
