Abstract

Biceps brachii is one of the key flexors of the elbow joint which had been studied extensively. Variations are common in the number of heads, their origin, insertion and nerve supply. Third head of biceps brachii is not an infrequent observation. During routine dissection, we came across a third head of biceps brachii which had an unusual origin. Such variations are important for clinicians and surgeons for performing diagnostic and surgical procedures in the upper limb.
