“…Superficial ulnar artery incidence is 0.7-9.3% and has unilateral preponderance. 1 This arterial variation is associated with other anatomical variations such as absent palmaris longus 2 and abnormal superficial palmar arch. The superficial ulnar artey usually arises in arm or axilla and has a superficial course in the forearm.…”

Superficial ulnar artery: Clinical recommendations to avoid iatrogenic complications due to variation in arterial system

Superficial ulnar artery is an uncommon variation in which the ulnar artery is having its course superficial to the flexors of the forearm and may arise directly from axillary or brachial arteries. The proper understanding and knowledge of variation of arterial systems is helpful for judicious planning of various reconstructive procedures in oncological, orthopaedic and reconstructive surgeries. We present a case of variant course of ulnar artery which was noted during exploration of a right distal forearm wound. We suggest few clinical recommendations to avoid iatrogenic complications due to variation in arterial system.

“…In case it courses superficial to the forearm flexors, it is called arteria brachioulnaris superficialis , while in the opposite case it is called arteria brachioulnaris which is extremely rare and was not observed in our study. It is quite known artery, reported in many cadaveric studies [ 5 - 7 , 9 , 11 - 13 , 16 , 19 , 22 , 41 - 43 , 45 , 59 - 69 ] as well as surgical and angiographic [ 25 , 51 , 63 , 68 - 70 ] ( Table 8 ).…”

Although the variability of the upper limb arteries is a clinically important problem, the prevalence varies across the existing studies and the classification is rather complicated, uncoined, and sometimes even unclear for its simple and direct understanding and usage. Multiple case reports appearing in the last years apply incorrect, inappropriate, and sometimes misleading terminology. Here we performed an anatomical cadaveric study of the variability of the arteries of the upper limb, namely the axilla, arm and forearm, in 423 upper limbs (Central European population) embalmed with the classical formaldehyde method. We proposed the application of the Equality system based on common trunks for denomination of the axillary artery branches principal variations: truncus subscapulocircumflexus (22.9%), truncus profundocircumflexus (13.75%), and truncus bicircumflexus (13.95%). Further, we proposed the terminology system developed by Rodríguez-Niedenführ et al. for the free upper limb principal arterial trunk variations based on the origin, location (in the arm only or in the arm and forearm), and course (related to the forearm flexor muscles) of the involved artery: arteria brachialis superficialis (9.5%), arteria brachioradialis superficialis (6.4%), arteria brachioulnaris superficialis (1.9%), arteria brachiomediana superficialis (0.5%), and arteria comitans nervi mediani manus (3.3%). Extensive development of the catheterisation methods via the arteria radialis et ulnaris as well as surgical procedures using flaps based on perforating branches of these arteries (including arteria brachioradialis superficialis et brachioulnaris superficialis) necessitate thorough data on the prevalence of the variant vessels for safe performance of these procedures and to prevent any unexpected situations or to react adequately when they occur.

“…El origen de la AUS ha sido reportado en la arteria axilar (AA) (Dubreuil Chambardel, 1926;Singer, 1933;Weathersby, 1956;Fadel & Amonoo-Kuofi, 1996;Jacquemin et al, 2001;Natsis et al, 2006;Mannan et al, 2008;Yadav et al, 2013); en la arteria braquial (AB) en el brazo (Hazlett, 1949;Weathersby;Blagojka, 1982;del Sol et al, 2000;Rodríguez-Niedenführ et al, 2001;Natsis et al;Dartnell et al, 2007;Senanayake et al, 2007;Troupis et al, 2011;Casal et al, 2012;Solan, 2013;Salunke et al, 2014;Abhinita et al, 2016) o en la fosa cubital (Hazlet; Weathersby;Blagojka;Panicker et al, 2003;Shetty et al, 2013;Yadav et al;Kusztal et al, 2014;Kumka & Purkiss, 2015;Quadros et al, 2015;Sirasanagandla et al, 2016). En nuestro caso, los hallazgos remiten a este último origen y al trayecto en el antebrazo de ambas arterias.…”

RESUMEN: Describimos un hallazgo infrecuente de arteria ulnar superficial en ambos antebrazos de un cadáver, con origen en la arteria braquial, a nivel de la fosa cubital. Las arterias presentan un trayecto que dividimos en cuatro segmentos, a causa de sus flexuosidades. Ambos antebrazos presentan ausencia del músculo palmaris longus. Se resumen las principales teorías sobre su desarrollo y las complicaciones que pueden ser ocasionadas por su presencia y el eventual beneficio de la misma. Hasta el momento, no hemos encontrado en la literatura, una disposición morfológica de arterias ulnares superficiales como las aquí descritas. PALABRAS CLAVE: Arteria ulnar superficial; Miembro superior; Variaciones anatómicas. INTRODUCCIÓN Durante una disección de rutina, observamos una arteria ulnar superficial (AUS) bilateral, en un espécimen de sexo masculino, de 64 años, fresco, con el sistema arterial inyectado con látex natural coloreado con pigmento rojo, conservado a posteriori en formalina al 10 %.
