Abstract
- Many anatomical variants on the sternocleidomastoid muscle have been reported. In this study, supernumerary clavicular heads of sternocleidomastoid muscle in a Korean female cadaver were bilaterally displayed. The observed supernumerary heads were classified as follows: one sterno-mastoid, one cleido-occipital and one cleido-mastoid on the right side, and one sterno-mastoid-occipital, four cleido-occipitals, and one cleido-mastoid on the left side. The sterno-mastoid and sterno-mastoid-occipital and the cleido-occipital made the superficial layer of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, while others made deep layer. We discussed clinical relevance and developmental basis of these muscular variations important for clinicians and anatomists.
