A Variant Course of Lateral Root of Median Nerve: Embryological Basis

Abstract: During routine dissection of the right arm of 50 year old male cadaver, we observed that the lateral root of median nerve was piercing the coracobrachialis muscle before joining the medial root of median to form the median nerve. The lateral root of median nerve did not give any branch within the muscle and no communication was observed between musculocutaneous nerve and lateral root of median nerve within the coracobrachialis muscle or in the later course of these two nerves. The same muscle was being pierced… Show more

“…The lateral root is formed of nerve fibers from the C5, C6, C7 nerves, and the fiber mesh root from the C8 and T1 nerves [5]. The median nerve passes the lower part of the axillary region, being laterally disposed on the axillary artery, which it crosses before, and descends on the medial face of the arm, crosses the elbow, descends vertically on the median line of the forearm, passes below the flexor retinas reaching the hand, which is divided into its terminal branches [1,2,3,8].…”

“…Nerve variations in the upper limb are important in routine surgery, as they are more prone to injury. They also help in the interpretation of a nervous compression having unexplained clinical symptoms [1]. Anomalies related to the formation, relations and distribution of brachial plexus cords is fairly common.…”
