INTRODUCTION Cubital tunnel syndrome is a common nerve entrapment syndrome , second only to carpal tunnel

INTRODUCTION The median and radial nerves are two important neural structures found in the cubital fossa. The trajectory and landmarks used to identify their location are important when procedures are done in this area. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten fresh-frozen cadavers were dissected (20 upper limbs) and measurements were taken from the medial epicondyle to the median and radial nerves as well ...

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...

INTRODUCTION: Anatomical variation of high brachial artery bifurcation and these morphological variations the should be considered by surgeons when performing procedures in area.CASE: The left anterior arm forearm regions a thirty-three-year-old cadaver was dissected. origin, course, terminal branches Brachial were traced. It then observed that upper third humerus instead cubital fossa. CONCLUS...

Introduction: Brachial Artery (BA) begins as a continuation of axillary artery at the distal border teres major, it appears in cubital fossa, where ends level neck radius by dividing into radial and ulnar arteries. Common Interosseous (CIA) is largest branch Ulnar (UA) arises fossa. The terminal branches BA elbow are clinically important since they responsible for arterial supply to forearm han...

Variations in the main arteries of the upper limb are common and these anomalies can be of substantial interest to orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists and anatomists. We present here a case of a high origin of the ulnar artery from the brachial artery found during anatomical dissection of a right upper limb of a 50-year-old man. This superficial ulnar artery, after running over ...

Calcinosis cutis is an uncommon condition characterized by the deposition of calcium salts in the subcutaneous tissues of the body. Calcifications can also occur in a variety of other clinical settings and can be subjected to fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Since cutaneous calcific deposits may clinically mimic a tumor, it is feasible to diagnose them by FNA cytology (FNAC). We reported a case of...

The superficial ulnar artery is a rare variation of the upper limb arterial system that arises from the brachial or axillary artery and runs superficial to the muscles arising from the medial epicondyle 123. The incidence is about 0.7 to 7% 145. In our routine dissections we found a superficial ulnar artery, which crossed the cubital fossa superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis making it high...

INTRODUCTION Dengue haemorrhagic fever is known for its haemorrhagic and neurologic complications. Neurologic complications are caused by three mechanism namely neurotropism, systemic complications causing encephalopathy and postinfectious immune-mediated mechanisms. However acute compressive neuropathy due to haemorrhage is not frequent and we could find no literature describing this. CASE R...
