Bilateral asymmetric supernumerary heads of biceps brachii [PDF]

Anatomy & Cell Biology, 2011
Anatomical variations of the biceps brachii have been described by various authors, but the occurrence of bilateral asymmetric supernumerary heads is rare and has not been reported. We found three accessory heads of the biceps brachii muscle on right arm and an anomalous third head of biceps brachii on left arm.
