摘要: OBJECTIVE: The omohyoid muscle is a long, thin consisting of superior and inferior bellies an intermediate tendon, which runs obliquely in the lateral cervical region. important neck dissections because it surgical landmark for level III IV lymph node metastases. METHODS: In present study, anterior posterior triangle was dissected 35 male cadavers observed variations bilaterally. Observations were focused on number, attachments, position omohyoid. RESULTS: Among studied, double one cadaver, belly originated from clavicle three cadavers, merged with sternohyoid two received additional slips sternum cadaver. Standard attachment remaining cadavers. CONCLUSION: Variations this are its close relation to large vessels brachial plexus. Because direct adhesion tendon wall internal jugular vein connection through lamina pretracheal layer fascia, contraction has effect lumen vessel.
