Anatomical Variation of Adductor Brevis Muscle – A Case Report

Adductor group of muscles are present in the medial compartment of the thigh. In this group adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, obturator externus and pectineus muscles are present implementing the function of adduction and medial rotation. Deviations from normal anatomy are rare and hardly reported. The occasional mention of additional bellies of adductor brevis muscle is present in surveys of anatomical archives. The present study reports an extra belly of adductor brevis AB muscle on the right side found during a cadaveric dissection for postgraduates in the national institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, Rajasthan. This case report is an effort to present the clinical applications of multiple bellies of the adductor brevis muscle of the thigh. It is possible to classify these muscular variations upon specialized radiological procedures such as CT and MRI scans only if the radiologist owns satisfactory knowledge of the variant anatomy of this region. These extra muscular slips can be fairly used in the reconstruction.
