Anatomical knowledge of variation of cutaneous supply of hand is required to the anesthetist to give local anesthesia and to the surgeon for various operations around wrist. The present case was reportedto enlighten the knowledge of anatomists as well as to the clinicians. During routine dissection of 70 year old male cadaver a rare variation of distribution of posterior interosseous nerve on dorsum of hand of right side was observed. The adjacent sides of index and middle fingers supplied by posterior interosseous nerve. Cutaneous nerve supply of thumb and lateral side of index finger was by three proper digital branches from superficial division of radial nerve and rest was supplied by ulnar nerve. Anatomical knowledge of this variation willbe useful to anaesthetists and surgeons during various operations.

During Routine dissection at Bankura Sammilani Medical College, multiple vascular variations were detected in a cadaver of 60 years aged female. Variation in formation of hepatic portal vein was present as union of splenic vein with the common trunk formed by Superior mesenteric vein & Inferior mesenteric vein. Second variations were in unilateral facial vessels, where the right facial artery terminated as superior labial artery and the right common facial vein drained into the External jugular vein. Knowledge of variant anatomy of hepatic portal vein is essential for surgical and interventional procedures because large visceral territory drained by inferior mesenteric vein. Knowledge of Facial vessels is important for maxillofacial surgeries.
