Communication between Musculocutaneous and Median Nerve –A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Any variation in the brachial plexus has great importance to surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and anesthetics. Usually musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) does not give any communicating branch to median nerve (MN). But in routine dissection, we found that there are two communicating branches between musculocutaneous and median nerve. Many authors reported communicating branches between median and musculocutaneous nerve may be unilateral or bilateral and also tried to classify it. So the possible clinical significance, embryological basis, and comparative anatomy of communicating branch between musculocutaneous nerve and median nerve will be discussed in this paper.
