Abstract Background This case report documents a rare variation of persistent median artery. Normally transient vessel present during embryologic development the limbs, artery typically regresses by eighth week life as radial and ulnar arteries predominate distal vascular supply hand. In subset adult population, this remains which most often ends in carpal tunnel or hand without significant dep...

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...

The third part of the axillary artery unilaterally divides into two major arterial stems, named according to their localization as deep brachial artery and superficial brachial artery (brachial artery). The deep brachial artery gives off the posterior circumflex humeral artery, anterior circumflex humeral artery, subscapular artery, and profunda brachii artery. It continues its course in the ar...
