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.

A new type of non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve in a cadaver with a right retroesophageal subclavian artery
The presence of the retroesophageal right subclavian artery predicts the presence of a right non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN). Three different right NRILNs have been previously described: Types Ia, Ib and I...
Anomalous tendinous contribution to the adductor canal by the adductor longus muscle
Introduction: Classically the adductor canal is made from the fascial contributions from sartorius, adductor longus, adductor magnus and vastus medialis muscles. The contents of the adductor canal include femoral artery,...
An unusual branching pattern of the axillary artery
Variations in the branching pattern of axillary artery are frequently found. Knowledge about the variations in the branching pattern of Axillary artery is important for surgeons to avoid intraoperative injuries in axilla...
Morphological study on mitral valve chordae tendineae in the hearts of human fetuses
BACKGROUND: Mitral valve chordae tendineae (CTs) are filaments of connective tissue that attach the mitral valves to the papillary muscles, which contract and cause tension on these chordae, so as not to allow separation...
A new variant of fibulocalcaneus anterior
Compartment leg muscle that inserts onto the lateral side of the foot. This muscle has been named fibulocalcaneus anterior. Routine dissection of the leg and foot revealed a fourth example. The muscle originated within t...
