An Anatomical Variation of Median Artery of Forearm and Palm: Cadaveric Study into its Origin and Course

Background The median artery (transitory artery) represents the forearm’s embryonic arterial axis. At 8th week of gestation retreats into a little canal that supplies nerve. Later, ulnar and radial arteries take its place. Adults may still have it in either palmar or an antebrachial pattern. persistent are long, angular extends to hand’s surface. only partially recedes type.
 Objective To identify distribution adult Nepalese population. Method Twenty-five human cadavers’ left right upper limbs undergone descriptive research. was exposed according Cunningham’s Manual Practical Anatomy.
 Result forearm hand each fifty from twenty-five formalin-embalmed cadavers were studied. Among limbs, found six (twelve percent) them. One percent cadaver’s had bilateral persisting (ante brachial). Persistent ante brachial type arises anterior interosseous limb. emerging posterior visible one limb.
 Conclusion study showed type. interosseus is source majority A piercing nerve discovered.
