Unusual trifurcation of brachial artery, superficial course of ulnar artery and absence of palmaris longus muscle: A case report
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
During routine dissection for undergraduates in department of anatomy, Seth G. S. M. C. Mumbai, a unilateral case of trifurcation of brachial artery into radial, ulnar and common interosseous artery in a adult male cadaver in his right upper limb was found. In same limb, the ulnar artery was superficial which was anastomosing with the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery, creating the superficial palmar arch and absence of Palmaris longus muscle in same limb was observed. Trifurcation of brachial artery into radial, ulnar and common interosseousarteries is common variation. Though ulnar arterial variations are rare, superficial ulnar artery is one of its commonest variations. The arterial variations of upper limb are useful for vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, plastic surgeons and clinicians. Absence of palmaris longus muscle is also a common variation. It is of intrest in orthopaedic, hand and reconstructive surgeries.
