“…Such abnormal superficial tortuous accessory brachial artery course in the lower part of the anterior compartment of arm noted in this study may be mistaken for basilic vein during cannulation [28,29]. Such neurovascular variations are clinically important because symptoms of median nerve compression arising from such variations are often confused with more common causes, such as radiculopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome or pronator teres syndrome [30,31] In the arm musculocutaneous nerve passes obliquely downwards and laterally between the biceps brachii and brachialis then it penetrates the deep fascia slightly above the elbow, where as in this study at the middle of the arm it was plastered to the deep brachial artery and passed behind the arterial trunk (formed by the union of accessory and main brachial arteries) in the cubital fossa such unusual course was not reported in the literature.…”

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Although a PMA has been described as an anatomic variation in angiographic studies, 19,20 to our knowledge, no report of ultrasonographic findings of a PMA associated with CTS has been published. We report the cases of 2 patients with a large PMA in association with CTS diagnosed on the basis of ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS).…”

Objective. To describe the ultrasonographic and color Doppler ultrasonographic findings in 2 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome associated with a persistent median artery and to report the frequency of this anatomic variation in healthy volunteers. Methods. Two patients with the clinical appearance of carpal tunnel syndrome and 100 wrists and distal forearms of 50 asymptomatic volunteers were examined with ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography. The frequency and size of a persistent median artery and its relationship to median nerve anatomy in the carpal tunnel were evaluated. Results. A large persistent median artery of 3 mm in diameter was found in the affected hands in both patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Findings were confirmed at surgery. Among the asymptomatic volunteers, a persistent median artery could be found in 13 (26%, 10 [20%] unilateral and 3 [6%] bilateral), with a mean diameter of 1.1 mm (range, 0.5-1.7 mm). In 10 (63%) of 16 hands, the persistent median artery was associated with high division of the median nerve or a bifid nerve configuration in the carpal tunnel. Conclusions. A persistent median artery is a common condition in healthy individuals and in most cases is related to median nerve variations such as high division or a bifid nerve. Because a persistent median artery has a superficial course close to the transverse carpal ligament, preoperative diagnosis of this anatomic variation may be of clinical importance.

:In a 45 year male cadaver unusual variation of right brachial artery branching was observed.Brachial artery also showed high division in to radial and ulnar artery in upper third of arm. The posterior circumflex humeral artery, profunda brachii artery and superior ulnar collateral artery all arose from one common trunk in proximal part of brachial artery before its termination. In this report we endeavor to discuss the relevance of embryogenesis and clinical importance.
