Two tendons were seen throughout the bicipital groove of the right arm. Mild amount free fluid (FF) also noted towards the distal part of the biceps tendon sheath.
Case Discussion
The sonographic appearance of two separate biceps tendons throughout the bicipital groove, in this asymptomatic patient, is suggestive of a bifid biceps tendon, a rare anatomical variant. In an appropriate clinical setting, a split tear of the biceps tendon might have a very similar appearance though.
