Bilateral superficial brachial artery – a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variations in the arterial pattern of upper limb are common and have been reported by several investigators [1–3]. The great variability of this arterial pattern may be attributed to the failure of regression of some paths of embryonic arterial trunks [2, 3]. The presence of superficial brachial artery and the usual pattern of its branching in the upper arm or forearm have also been reported with prevalence rate varying from 0.2–25% but mostly unilaterally [3–6]. A rare case of bilateral superficial brachial artery in an adult female cadaver was observed during our routine dissection studies in the Department of Anatomy, Govt. Medical College, Amritsar, India. Since a bilateral presentation is extremely rare, that gave us an impetus to report this case.

Paper: A Case Report of a Rare Variation in Arising Branches of Brachial Artery
Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are abundant and diverse and have been observed frequently either in cadaver dissection or in clinical practice and reports. In the most of these reports, radial or ulnar arteries were commonly involved, which can be damaged during surgical procedures. This report presents a case of a rare variation in arising branches of brachial artery. Dur...
متن کاملCase Report: A Case Report on Variation in Bifurcation of Brachial Artery
Variations in arterial anatomy are less frequent, contrary to the venous system, and most of these variations affect visceral arteries. Variations in the brachial artery are the most frequently reported and so far a minimum of six different patterns have been described. The most common of these patterns is the superficial brachial artery, which lies superficially to the medi...
متن کاملBilateral superficial ulnar arteries with an unusual arterial arch in the forearm
Introduction The ulnar artery is the larger terminal branch of the brachial artery and is usually given off in the cubital fossa. Along with the radial artery, it supplies the structures in the forearm and hand, as well as the elbow and wrist joints. The superficial ulnar artery (SUA) is a rare variation of the ulnar artery. It usually arises higher up, either in the axilla or the arm, and runs...
متن کاملBilateral asymmetry of the highly bifurcated brachial artery variation.
High bifurcation of the brachial artery seems to be a common variation, which can occur in many different forms, and some of them might be rather rare. We report an unusual case of bilateral high bifurcation of the brachial artery in a male cadaver. On the right arm, high origin of the ulnar artery as superficial ulnar artery was observed. The brachial artery continued and divided at the level ...
متن کاملSuperficial tortuous brachial artery – a case report
Case Report During routine dissection of a male cadaver, of unknown age and ethnicity, the left brachial artery was found to be tortuous. It was observed that the superficial brachial artery was arising from the third part of the axillary artery proximal to the origin of the posterior and anterior circumflex humeral arteries (Figures 1, 2). On following it in the arm, it was observed that at th...
