High bifurcation of the radial and ulnar artery from the brachial artery: case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Brachial artery anatomically divides into radial and ulnar artery dividing at the level of neck of the radius. We present a cadaveric case study with a variation in the bifurcation of the radial artery and ulnar artery at the mid shaft level of humerus near the insertion of corachobrachialis muscle. The detailed course of the brachial artery along with its terminal branches is studied. The article discusses the embryological background and its clinical implications.
