Abstract

Variations are important findings for anatomists, radiologists and surgeons. Variations may be either skeletal or neurovascular. It may simulate the normal/abnormal (malignant) structures and misguide the radiologists and surgeons during diagnostic and surgical procedures. Hence, it becomes essential to disseminate the knowledge of variations. Keeping this in mind, we report a case of a third head of gastrocnemius in a male cadaver. This muscle was observed in the right popliteal fossa, arising from lateral condyle of femur and merging with two heads of gastrocnemius.
