[Wrist/Finger_Case_#04] flexor carpi radialis brevis vel profundus, accessory muscle

The flexor carpi radialis brevis vel profundus extends from the distal radius to the capitate and base of the third and fourth metacarpals. It passes between the pronator quadratus and FCR muscles.

 

Many accessory muscles have been described in the hand. Most are asymptomatic, but they can be a cause of compressive neuropathy or a palpable soft tissue mass. 

 

Detection can be difficult because the muscles have the same signal intensity and overall appearance as the adjacent normal muscles and therefore do not attract the eye in the fashion of a typical mass. 

 

The key to diagnosis is knowledge of normal muscle anatomy, in particular being aware of spaces where muscles should not exist normally.
