Unusual Arterial Variation of Upper Limb – Case Report.
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Brachial artery, which is continuation of axillary artery extending from lower border of teres major muscle up to the neck of radius, where it divides into radial and ulnar arteries.In the present case two arteries in the right arm of a male cadaver were recorded. The one was normally positioned brachial artery & the other was variant brachial artery. The variant artery was observed to run superficial to both median nerve & normal brachial artery, termed as superficial brachial artery. This variant artery traversed distally as superficial ulnar artery, superficial to flexor muscles of forearm. Normal brachial artery showed a rare feature of giving origin to Radial artery and Common Interosseous artery. Presence of Superficial Brachial Artery (SBA) can be hazardous because it is more vulnerable to injury. It can be used as a feeding artery to a free flap from medial arm skin.
