During routine dissection of a male cadaver for I year MBBS students in the department Anatomy bilateral variations branching pattern Axillary artery were observed. In present study it was observed that, on left side, subscapular which usually arises from third part found to be originating second along with lateral thoracic and thoraco-acromial whereas anterior circumflex humeral posterior orig...

Introduction and radial arteries. There was a temperature difference between arm and forearm and the hand was cool and pale. He also reported that he had experienced a Arterial injuries of the shoulder in ‘‘throwing’’ athletes sudden numbness in his right hand of a few hours’ are not yet very common and usually are the result duration twice, in the previous month. The patient’s of subclavian ar...

During routine dissection classes for under graduate students, we found a unique and unusual case regarding the anomalous branching in the third part of the axillary artery was terminated into subscapular arterial trunk, superficial brachial artery and deep brachial artery. The subscapular arterial trunk was origin of several important arteries as the circumflex scapular, thoracodorsal, posteri...

The anatomic proximity of several neurovascular structures remains a major concern to the surgeon interested in performing arthroscopic capsular release. We evaluated the anatomic relationships between the released capsule and the axillary nerve, posterior circumflex humeral artery, and brachial artery in a frozen cadaveric model. With the aid of electrocautery, seven cadaveric shoulders underw...

During routine dissection of an approximately 50-year-old male cadaver for the undergraduate medical students at Melaka Manipal Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal, we came across a variation in branching pattern of right axillary artery. The second part of axillary artery gave rise to a common trunk which divided into the subscapular and lateral thoracic arteries. The third part of ri...

The axillary neurovascular structures are one of the potential anatomical fields to show variations in many ways. The axillary artery gets divided in three parts by the fore lying pectoralis minor and provides the superior thoracic artery from first part, thoraco-acromial artery, lateral thoracic artery from second part and the third part gives anterior circumflex humeral, posterior circumflex ...

During our routine dissection studies we observed arterial, neural and muscular variations in the upper limbs of an adult male cadaver. In this case we observed the superficial brachial artery origination from the third part of the axillary artery, communications between the musculocutaneous and median nerves, variant formation of the brachial plexus, origination of the profunda brachii artery ...

Variations of venous pattern in the arm are common. In this case report, we present a variation of axillary artery and vein. During routine educational dissections of axillary region, it was observed that a fenestrated axillary vein was perforated by a variant axillary artery in right arm of an old male cadaver. The axillary artery which was fenestrated through axillary vein had only two branch...

An unusual unilateral variation in the branching pattern of axillary artery was observed in a 60 year old female embalmed cadaver. The axillary artery had only two branches arising from its proximal (first) part and no branches from its remaining distal (second & third) parts. The branches are superior thoracic (usual) and another large collateral (unusual) branch. This collateral branch is the...
