The Levator Claviculae Muscle and Unilateral Third Head of the Sternocleidomastoid Muscle: Case Report

A rare case of unilateral third head of sternocleidomastoid and an extra muscle levator claviculae were determined unilaterally in a 70-year-old male cadaver during the routine dissections. In the left neck side, it was observed that the sternocleidomastoid muscle also had a third part in addition t...
