UNILATERAL VARIATION IN BRANCHING PATTERN OF THIRD PART OF LEFT AXILLARY ARTERY: A CASE REPORT

Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3

Abstract

The Axillary artery is the continuation of the subclavian artery and is a major artery of the upper limb. During the routine dissection for undergraduate Ayurvedic medical students of SDM Trust’s Ayurvedic Medical College, Terdal, Bagalkot, Karnataka, India, in the department of anatomy we come across a variation in branching pattern of third part of left axillary artery in male cadaver approximately 55 years of age. The first part and the second part of left axillary artery branches were found to be normal but third part of left axillary artery presenting only one common trunk. This common trunk running posteriorly and dividing into subscapular artery, Anterior circumflex Humeral Artery, Posterior circumflex Humeral Artery and profunda brachii artery.
