“…The SUA has been observed together with other arterial variations, such as a median artery (Weathersby, 1956;Rodriguez-Baeza et al, 1995), a superficial median artery originating from the SUA (Adachi, 1928), and absence of the radial artery (Poteat, 1986). Another rare morphological feature is the presence of anastomoses in the forearm with other arteries such as the anterior interosseous (Gruber, 1867;Sanudo et al, 1998) or the median artery (Wankoff, 1962).…”

Routine dissection of the left upper limb of an 86-year-old male cadaver showed a superficial ulnar artery that anastomosed with the ulnar artery. The superficial ulnar artery arose from the third part of the axillary artery, coursed distally over the flexor muscles of the forearm, and terminated by anastomosing with the ulnar artery in the distal third of the forearm. Arterial and neural variations were also observed on the contralateral side. The presence of a superficial ulnar artery is important clinically when raising forearm flaps in reconstructive surgery.

“…The term SUA is applied to an artery which arises from the axillary, brachial or superficial brachial arteries and courses over the origins of the superficial forearm muscles to join at the midlevel of the forearm with the ulnar artery, sometimes replacing it2, 3,14,17,20,24). The SUA has been reported with different terminologies; arteria antebrachialis superficialis ulnaris17.15), high origin of the ulnar artery3 '19,23) and SUA with a high origin6).…”

A rare variation of the ulnar artery is presented on routine anatomical dissection in one male cadaver. The superficial ulnar artery was found to originate from the axillary artery. The free forearm flap is increasingly popular among plastic surgeons. As a result of this case, and a review of the literature to gain further knowledge of anatomical variations, it is advised that more attention should be paid clinically to this artery to prevent its injury.

“…Proximally, the MN and coracobrachialis lie laterally while distally the biceps muscle overlap the artery. Proximally, the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm and ulnar nerve lie medially, while distally the MN and basilic vein lie medially [3,4]. Two venae committantesrunning with the BA, connected by transverse and oblique branches.…”

Background: The study of brachial artery is an important arterial conduit from the clinical point of view to anatomists, general surgeons, radiologists, plastic surgeons, and even cardiovascular thoracic surgeons in the conduct of reparative surgery.Therefore, the present study was designed to study the course, branching pattern and termination of Brachial Artery and its clinical significance of these variations. Materials and Methods:The present study was conducted on 30 upperlimbs of 15 cadavers embalmed & belonging to theDepartment of Anatomy, Govt. Medical College,Alappuzha over the period of 1 year. By conventional dissectionmethod a longitudinalincision was given along the midline of arm through the deep fascia, inferiorup to cubital fossa. Brachial artery was identified, cleaned & dissected and assessed the length of brachial artery, level of termination of brachial artery, variation in the branching pattern and the course in relation to the median nerve was noted. Results:The average length of the brachial artery was 25.23 cms. 73.3% of the brachial artery followed the classical pattern as given in Gray's Anatomy. Variation in the branching pattern, presence of accessory brachial artery, origin of profunda brachial artery was noted. 3.3% trifurcation of brachial artery into Radial, Ulnar & Common interosseous at the level of neck of radius.Brachial artery terminated at the level of neck of radius in 76.67%, radial tuberosity13.33%, mid arm3.33%, proximal arm 6.67%. Discussion and Conclusion:Variationsof brachial artery in its relationship with the median nerve, pattern and level of termination are common. These may complicate arm surgical exposure, flap and vascular surgery. Hence, Knowledge of possible variations in the branching pattern of various arteries is important during vascular and reconstructive surgery.
