A Rare Bilateral Asymmetric Variation of the Anterior Belly of Digastric Muscle.

A Rare Bilateral Asymmetric Variation of the Anterior Belly of Digastric Muscle.

Accessory bellies of digastric muscle may alter the movements of mandible and hyoid bone. Even they cause difficulty in the clinical diagnosis of pathological masses in the submental area and also interfere with successful surgeries in the anterior neck region. The anomalies of the anterior belly of...
