Diagnostic Ultrasound - Abdomen and Pelvis
Abdominal Wall MUSCLES OF BACK IN SITU Anatomy: Abdomen Spinous process Spinalis thoracis muscle Longissimus thoracis muscle Iliocostalis muscle Serratus posterior inferior muscle Transversus abdominis (muscle and tendon) Internal oblique muscle External oblique muscle Iliac crest Graphic shows the paraspinal muscles and muscles of the back. The latissimus dorsi muscles are not included. The erector spinae have thick tendinous origins from the sacral and iliac crests and the lumbar and 11th to 12th thoracic spinous processes. Superiorly, the muscle becomes fleshy, and in the upper lumbar region subdivides to become the iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis muscles (from lateral to medial), tapering as they insert into the vertebrae and ribs. The erector muscles flank the spinous processes and span the length of the posterior thorax and abdomen. They are responsible for extension of the vertebral column. 99
Abdominal Wall Anatomy: Abdomen ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL Subcutaneous fat Rectus sheath Right rectus abdominis muscle Peritoneum Bowel Left rectus abdominis muscle Linea alba Subcutaneous fat Rectus abdominis muscle Deep inferior epigastric artery and vein Bowel gas Subcutaneous fat Rectus abdominis muscle Perforator branch of the deep inferior epigastric artery Deep inferior epigastric artery (Top) Transverse grayscale ultrasound of the midline anterior abdominal wall shows the paired rectus abdominis muscles separated by the linea alba. The rectus abdominis muscles are comparable in echogenicity and thickness. The surrounding rectus sheath is seen as a fine, thin, echogenic structure around the muscles. (Middle) Transverse power Doppler ultrasound of a rectus abdominis muscle in the lower abdomen shows the deep inferior epigastric artery and vein. Branches of the superior epigastric artery that arise in the upper abdomen anastomose with branches of the inferior epigastric artery at the umbilicus. (Bottom) Longitudinal color Doppler ultrasound shows a perforating branch of the deep inferior epigastric artery extending into the rectus muscle. These perforators are important for breast reconstruction with abdominal wall flaps. 100
