Abstract

Gantzer’s muscle is an additional muscle in the forearm. We studied the incidence and the morphology of Gantzer’s muscle and its relation with neurovascular structures. However, unlike the previous suggestion by Eid et al., there is no significant difference in the frequency of the variations of these nerves whether Gantzer’s muscle is present or not.

Highlights

  • We read the case report by Eid et al [1] published in this journal with interest

  • Similar variations were reported by many authors, suggesting that high division of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel might be associated with Gantzer’s muscle [1]-[3]

  • Under great concern about Gantzer’s muscle, we examined its frequency and anatomical correlation with neurovascular structures in the forearm

Summary

Introduction

We read the case report by Eid et al [1] published in this journal with interest. They reported a case with bilateral Gantzer’s muscles accompanying variations of the median nerve in which the carpal tunnel laid [1].
