چکیده

Accurate knowledge of the normal and variant anatomy of the axillary region is a prerequisite for correct diagnosis of the underlying pathology. The subsequent clinical procedures are of utmost significance for the vascular radiologists, surgeons and clinical anatomists. The vascular variations of the region should be well known [1]. The course and branching pattern of the axillary artery vary with race, sex and ethnic groups [1,2]. Axillary artery is the continuation of subclavian artery from the outer border of the first rib and continues as the brachial artery at the inferior border of teres major. Pectoralis minor muscle divides the artery in three parts, as the first part (proximal), second part (posterior) and third part (distal) to the muscle. As classically described in anatomical texts, axillary artery gives six branches; first part giving rise to superior thoracic, second part to thoracoacromial and lateral thoracic and the third part to subscapular, anterior circumflex humeral and posterior circumflex humeral arteries [3]. Various authors have described the variations in the branching pattern of the axillary artery [1,2,4–9]. During routine dissection of the upper limb, we came across a unique branching pattern, which has not yet been described in the literature. The variant observed is not only rare but seems to be relevant and significant for understanding the formation of the arteries of the arm. Syed Rehan DAIMI Abu Ubaida SIDDIQUI Rajendra Namdeo WABALE

Clinically relevant variations in the origin and course of the radial artery

Background: The radial artery is an essential artery supplying the structures in the forearm. Variations in the radial artery concerning its origin, course, branching pattern, and mode of termination have been commonly reported. The high origin of the radial artery from either brachial or axillary artery was detected in numerous studies. Clinically-radial artery is used in cardiac catheterizati...

Axillary artery, the continuation of the Subclavian artery, initiates at the lateral border of the first rib and normally ends at the lower border of teres major, where it obtains the name of brachial artery. Variations in the branching pattern of the axillary artery are common. During a routine dissection of a 25-30-year-old man cadaver, based on the classic Grant’s method, in the Department o...

A Rare Variation in Branching Pattern of the Internal Iliac Artery: A Case Report

Internal iliac artery (IIA) shows frequent variations in its branching pattern. We saw variations in the branching pattern of right IIA in a male cadaver. The IIA divided into anterior and posterior divisions. The branches of the anterior division included umbilical artery, inferior vesical artery, obturator artery. The other branches arose from posterior trunk such as iliolumbar, lateral s...

An unusual origin of the common interosseous artery is reported in the paper. During educational dissection of a 37-year-old male, a rare variation in the origin of common interosseous artery of the right upper limb was observed. The common interosseous artery directly separated from radial artery. The right anterior interosseous artery is continued from common interosseous artery. Anterior and...
