Multiple bilateral Neuroanatomical variations of the nerves of the arm-A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Variations in arrangement and distribution of lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus and their branches in infraclavicular part of plexus are common in one or both axillae and have been reported by several investigators since the 19th century. The present case report describes multiple bilateral neuroanatomical variations in the upper arm involving both these cords simultaneously observed during routine educational dissection of upper extremity in a 52-year-old male cadaver. Such multiple variations coexisting in the same case have not been reported often in literature.Precise knowledge of such variations may help while planning surgeries in the region of axilla and arm, traumatology of the shoulder joint and plastic and reconstructive repair operations, as these nerves are more liable to be injured during operations. Considering the clinical importance of the variations documented in this case report an attempt has been made to explain these variations in light of embryogenic development.
