Abstract

Variations in the number and/or course of the arteries of the upper limb have clinical and surgical significance. During routine dissection of the left upper limb of a 50-year-old male cadaver, a brachial artery was noted that bifurcated into superficial and deep branches in the middle arm. The ulnar and radial arteries had a high origin from the superficial branch and proceeded superficially in the forearm, but had a normal termination in the hand. The common interosseous artery was termination of the deep branch. This report is a rare variation in arteries of upper limb and was not additional vessels.
