Anatomical Description of a Variant Abductor Digiti Minimi Accessorious Muscle and Its Clinical Correlation with Ulnar Neurovascular Entrapment Syndrome.

Variations of the abductor digiti minimi muscle are a rare occurrence as compared to anomalous thenar musculature. Surgico-anatomical basis of such accessory muscular slips should be discussed in detail. This case report presents a rare bilateral existence of accessory slips of abductor digiti minim...
