A Rare Case of Double-Headed Psoas Minor Muscle with Review of its Known Variants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variations of the muscles of humans are important to remember for those who interpret imaging and for those who operate near these anomalies. Herein, we describe a rare two-headed psoas minor muscle found incidentally during dissection of the posterior abdominal wall. This case is presented with a detailed review of all known variations of the minor psoas and is analyzed through a literature review.

Psoas minor is long, slender and functionally weak muscles that assist psoas major in flexing the trunk and spinal column. Psoas minor at its origin lies just in front of the psoas major muscle has small belly and long tendon like plantaris and palmaris longus muscle.

متن کاملA rare presentation of osteoid osteoma in a rib and unexpected \"double density sign\": A case report and review of literature
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a relatively common skeletal neoplasm, frequently involves long bones. OO of rib is extremely rare, including 0.23-2% of OO cases. Most of them arose in posterior arc, frequently in its head or neck and might lead to painful scoliosis. Involvement of anterior aspect of a rib is extremely rare. Skeletal scintigraphy is highly sensitive for detection of OO. “Doubl...
