Variations in the arteries of upper limb- an ontogenic explaination

Abstract

During routine dissection in the department of Anatomy, Padmashree Dr.D.Y.Patil Medical College,Pimpri, Pune,variation of brachial artery was found. It was labeled as superficial brachial artery as it was arising from third part of axillary artery and was superficial to nerves and vessels of axilla .This superficial brachial artery was dividing into Radial and Ulnar arteries. Also Common trunk for Subscapular and Anterior circumflex scapular arteries was seen arising from axillary artery. Its embryological basis is also discussed along with details of observations. Keywords: Deep brachial artery, median nerve, superficial brachial artery, sub scapular artery, third part of axillary artery.

Clinical and Surgical Implications of the Radial Artery High Origin

“…La arteria braquial puede tener un trayecto superficial o profundo (Sonje et al, 2013) y dividirse a distintos niveles del brazo, por encima de la articulación del codo, dando sus ramas terminales radial y ulnar, las cuales pueden tener un trayecto profundo o superficial tanto en el brazo como en el antebrazo. Estas arterias pueden dar un número variable de colaterales o carecer de éstas (Panicker et al, 2003;Casal et al, 2012;Sawant et al, 2012b;Varlekar et al, 2013).…”
