“…Higher divisions of the brachial artery were noted by Bidarkotimath et al, in two cases in which the brachial artery bifurcated in the middle of the arm into radial and ulnar arteries, 6 unlike our case, in which the brachial artery bifurcated into radial and ulnar arteries in the upper arm.…”

During dissection conducted in an anatomy department of the right upper limb of the cadaver of a 70-year-old male, both origin and course of the radial and ulnar arteries were found to be anomalous. After descending 5.5 cm from the lower border of the teres major, the brachial artery anomalously bifurcated into a radial artery medially and an ulnar artery laterally. In the arm, the ulnar artery lay lateral to the median nerve. It followed a normal course in the forearm. The radial artery was medial to the median nerve in the arm and then, at the level of the medial epicondyle, it crossed from the medial to the lateral side of the forearm, superficial to the flexor muscles. The course of the radial artery was superficial and tortuous throughout the arm and forearm. The variations of radial and ulnar arteries described above were associated with anomalous formation and course of the median nerve in the arm. Knowledge of neurovascular anomalies are important for vascular surgeons and radiologists.

“… In normal course the third part of axillary artery gives rise to subscapular artery, anterior circumflex humeral and posterior circumflex humeral arteries.  Whereas in this present case, on the left side, the third part of axillary artery gives rise to a common trunk, this divides into subscapular artery and cirumflex humeral artery [ The anomalous blood vessels may be due to: [1] I.…”

During routine dissection in our department, multiple arterial variations were observed in a cadaver. The following arterial variations are present. They are, superficial brachioulnar artery, which originated at the level of junction of upper and middle third of arm. It runs a superficial course anterior to median nerve in the arm and terminates in the formation of superficial palmar arch. The brachial artery terminated as radial and common interosseous artery. Subscapular artery and circumflex humeral artery arose as a common trunk from the third part of axillary artery. The circumflex humeral artery later divides into anterior circumflex humeral and posterior circumflex humeral arteries. The right common carotid artery bifurcated into internal carotid artery anteromedially and external carotid artery posterolaterally at the level of upper lamina of thyroid cartilage. A proper knowledge of variations in the arterial pattern is a must for a good treatment outcome, especially in the fields like vascular surgery, reconstructive surgery, cardiac surgery, angiogram, arterial cannulation, arterio-venous fistula for renal dialysis. etc.

“…The arterial pattern of the upper extremities also shows a large number of variations. Literature is full of different reports, classifications, and interesting case reports (9–10–11–12). Rodríguez-Niedenführ et al (13) divided variations in three sections:…”
