title: [Keys for the diagnosis of inverted palmaris longus muscle by ultrasound].
abstract: We report two cases of inverted palmaris longus muscle diagnosed by ultrasound. We review the clinical presentation and the anatomic references that enable fast, efficacious ultrasound diagnosis of variations in this muscle, making this technique an attractive alternative to magnetic resonance imaging.
