Sternalis muscle revisted in South Indian male cadaver: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Sternalis/rectus sternalis is a rare muscle found in the chest wall. Only 3-5% of the cases are found world wide. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report the case of Sternalis in the 60-year-old South Indian male cadaver. This report discusses the origin, orientation, relations of this muscle. CONCLUSION Importance of the knowledge of the presence of these rare muscles in clinical diagnosis and therapeutic implications is discussed.

The sternalis muscle is an uncommon anatomic variation. We report a case of three unilateral recti sternalis muscles in a 60 year old male cadaver. All three muscles were slender and had a common origin from the right fourth sterno-chondral junction and partly from the lateral half of sternum. All three muscles continued up to the second costal cartilage, where they became inserted. The 3 muscl...
متن کاملA unique presentation: rectus sternalis
Rectus Sternalis is a rare fl at slip of muscle present parasternally in the thoracic wall. During the regular dissection of pectoral region, three slips of Sternalis muscle were observed bilaterally in an adult male cadaver. On the right side there was a single slip (RS1) while on the left side two slips (RS2 and RS3) were present. All three slips were present anterior to the Pectoralis Major ...
متن کاملSternalis muscle: an underestimated anterior chest wall anatomical variant
Over the recent years, an increased alertness for thorough knowledge of anatomical variants with clinical significance has been recorded in order to minimize the risks of surgical complications. We report a rare case of bilateral strap-like sternalis muscle of the anterior chest wall in a female cadaver. Its presence may evoke alterations in the electrocardiogram or confuse a routine mammograph...
متن کاملUnilateral presentation of three muscle variants in the pectoral region
A rare case of three muscle anomalies in the pectoral region was discovered during routine dissection of an 85-year-old female cadaver. The muscle anomalies include the congenital partial absence of the pectoralis major muscle, a sternalis muscle, and a pectoralis quartus muscle. All three variants presented on the right side. The pectoralis major muscle demonstrated a normal clavicular head bu...
متن کاملRectus thoracis bifurcalis: a new variant in the anterior chest wall musculature.
A cadaveric study was undertaken to report the incidence of sternalis muscle in cadavers of Asian origin. A total of 88 cadavers were studied over a period of six years and the sternalis was reported only in a single case and that too unilaterally. The accessory muscle was discovered in the right pectoral region in a 40-year-old male cadaver. The muscle emanated from the external oblique aponeu...
