A CASE REPORT OF MULTIPLE ARTERIAL ANOMALIES IN A CADAVER
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 21
Abstract
During routine dissection in our department, multiple arterial variations were observed in a cadaver. The following arterial variations are present. They are, superficial brachioulnar artery, which originated at the level of junction of upper and middle third of arm. It runs a superficial course anterior to median nerve in the arm and terminates in the formation of superficial palmar arch. The brachial artery terminated as radial and common interosseous artery. Subscapular artery and circumflex humeral artery arose as a common trunk from the third part of axillary artery. The circumflex humeral artery later divides into anterior circumflex humeral and posterior circumflex humeral arteries. The right common carotid artery bifurcated into internal carotid artery anteromedially and external carotid artery posterolaterally at the level of upper lamina of thyroid cartilage. A proper knowledge of variations in the arterial pattern is a must for a good treatment outcome, especially in the fields like vascular surgery, reconstructive surgery, cardiac surgery, angiogram, arterial cannulation, arterio-venous fistula for renal dialysis. etc.
