Knowledge of anatomical variations can be of use to clinicians and surgeons when, for example, viewing images of a patient or performing operations. Such knowledge can minimise the risk of iatrogenic complications. Herein, we present a case of a variant atlantomastoid muscle. The muscle was identified on the left side in an adult cadaver. The muscle's measurements and anatomical relationships are presented as well as a review of salient literature. We hope that increased knowledge of anatomical variants in the suboccipital region can improve patient care.
当临床医生和外科医生查看患者的图像或进行手术时，了解解剖学变异可以有所帮助。这种知识可以最大限度地降低医源性并发症的风险。本文介绍了一例寰枕肌变异的病例。在一具成年尸体的左侧发现了该肌肉。本文还介绍了肌肉的测量值和解剖关系，并回顾了相关文献。我们希望增加对枕下区域解剖变异的了解，以改善患者的护理。
