The presence of anatomical variants in the body may pose clinical challenges to inexperienced surgeons or clinicians and could cause misdiagnosis or treatment errors. Similarly, anatomical variations in cadavers pose educational dilemmas to students in gross anatomy dissection because of the inadequate coverage of anatomical variants in currently available resources, including textbooks. Students experience challenges in their learning experience, dissection process, and translation of clinically relevant information when presented with an anatomical variation. The authors report the rare finding of a bilateral sternalis muscle variant and asymmetrically bilateral extensor carpi radialis intermedius muscles in a single anatomical donor during dissection and the dilemma of students to find out what they were.
身体中解剖变异的存在可能给经验不足的外科医生或临床医生带来临床挑战,并可能导致误诊或治疗错误。同样,由于目前可用资源(包括教科书)中对解剖变异的覆盖不足,尸体中的解剖变异给大体解剖学解剖课程的学生带来了教育难题。当面对解剖变异时,学生在学习过程、解剖过程以及临床相关信息的转化方面都会遇到挑战。作者报告了在解剖过程中于单一解剖供体中罕见地发现双侧胸骨肌变异和双侧桡侧腕长伸肌不对称变异,以及学生们难以弄清楚它们是什么的困境。
