Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anatomic variations in the heads of biceps brachii are not uncommon. It varies from one head to seven heads but two heads (long and short) are considered normal. In this study, 56 arms from 28 cadavers were studied for third and fourth heads in the anatomy laboratory of Weill Cornell Medicine. We observed supernumerary heads in 5 cadavers (8.92%), out of which three heads were seen in 4 cadavers (7.14%) and four heads in only one cadaver (1.78%). Clinically, these kinds of anomalies are important because supernumerary heads could compress neighboring blood vessels and nerves.<\/p>\n

Key words: <\/strong>Accessory Heads, Biceps Brachii, Muscles, Variation.<\/p>\n
