Abstract

Objective To analyze magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the elbow area to quantify the presence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle. Methods A total of 232 exams were analyzed; 218 were included, of which 141 were of men and 77, women. Results Presence of the muscle was observed in 29 cases (13.3%), demonstrating that the presence of this muscle on images does not have a statistical correlation with the gender or age of the individual. Conclusion The prevalence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle is variable, without a pattern of normality. Objetivo Analisar imagens de ressonância magnética da região do cotovelo para quantificar a presença o músculo ancôneo epitroclear. Métodos Foram analisados 232 exames, foram incluídos 218, dos quais 141 eram homens e 77 mulheres. Resultados Observou-se a presença do músculo em 29 casos (13,3%), a presença desse músculo em imagens não apresentou correlação estatística com o gênero ou com a idade do indivíduo.
