THE COEXISTENCE OF ILIACUS MUSCLE VARIATION AND FEMORAL NERVE SPLIT: A CASE REPORT AND POSSIBLE CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS La coexistencia de la variación del músculo ilíaco y de la división del nervio femoral: Reporte de caso y posibles repercusiones clínic
Abstract:The iliacus muscle variation and coexisting femoral nerve split were discovered during routine anatomical dissection of iliac fossae in an embalmed cadaver. Careful dissection revealed abnormal branching of the femoral nerve around a muscular slip of iliacus, named iliacus minimus. We reason that the coexistence of a femoral nerve split with aberrant muscular slips increases the chance of nerve compression. The findings reported here support many other cases of unusual femoral nerve branching and highlight the… Show more
