A unique anomaly of the fibrous sling of the digastric muscle.
Anomalies of digastric muscle are not very rare. During a routine dissection, it was found on a cadaver that the digastric muscles on both sides had no fibrous slings. It was also observed that the two intermediate tendons crossed over the stylohyoid muscles. Such anomalies should be considered during the evaluation of the floor of the mouth after CT examination of MR imaging, and during surgical procedures as well.
