Variation in Superficial Palmar Arch: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Normally the superficial palmar arch is the continuation of the ulnar artery, continues its course across the flexor retinaculum. Distal to retinaculum it turns laterally and arches by combining with another artery and supplies medial three and half fingers. This case was observed in right hand after thorough and regular dissection of both hands of a 70 year old male cadaver in Department of Anatomy at S.V. Medical College, Tirupathi. In the present case, the superficial palmar arch in the hand is supplying the medial four and half fingers of right hand. With the advent of micro vascular surgery and reconstructive surgeries, it is important to recognize and document the developmental variation in course, distribution and branching pattern of the arteries of upper limb. Recognition and documentation of this type of anatomical variation is highly significant during the surgeries of hand. Keywords: Superficial palmar arch, Ulnar artery, Radial artery, Flexor retinaculum, Microvascular surgery.
