A high origin of radial artery with asymmetrical vasculature of upper limbs: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
During routine dissection of upper extremity in the department, variation in formation of radial artery was observed in a male cadaver of about 55 years of age. On the left side radial artery has taken origin from 2nd part of axillary artery where as in right it has originated at its normal level. The variation in relation of median nerve with the axillary artery was also seen on the right side of the same body. These not so common phenomena are discussed in the light of embryological basis. These variations may have diagnostic, interventional and surgical significance.

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...
متن کاملCase Report: A Rare Variation in Origin of Common Interosseous Artery: A Review of Anatomical Studies and Case Report
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...
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 کاملA rare bilateral neurovascular variation of the upper limb: A case report of a 97-year-old Caucasian male
Introduction Numerous review articles have described variations to the branching pattern of the vasculature [3, 8, 10] and innervation [1, 4,] in the upper limbs of cadavers. The classification of the arterial patterns that we used for this report corresponded to McCormick et al.’s [8] description of radial artery origin proximal to the intercondylar line. Multiple names have been given to this...
متن کاملPaper: 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...
