In this article we describe a unique and complex variation in the arterial pattern of the left hand of a female cadaver. The following variations were found in this case: a) persistent median artery of the palmar type, terminating in the hand as the princeps pollicis and radialis indicis arteries; b) the ulnar artery giving only two common palmar digital arteries; c) the second digital palmar a...

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as celiac artery compression syndrome is a rare condition characterized by chronic mesenteric ischemia, secondary to the compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament. Occasionally, in addition to the celiac artery, the superior mesenteric artery may be partially compressed by the median arcuate ligament. We report a case wit...

Brachial artery is the main artery supplying the upper limb. Variations in brachial artery are so many that it becomes a rule rather than an exception. A study was done to note the variations in the relation of median nerve to brachial artery. A total of 95 upper limbs (51 Right, 44 Left), with a mean arm length of 30.82 cms, were studied. In 11 of the limbs (11.57%) median nerve was noted to c...

BACKGROUND Carpal tunnel syndrome is a sporadically occurring abnormality due to compression of median nerve. It is exceedingly rare for it to be caused by thrombosis of persistent median artery. CASE REPORT A forty two year old female was referred for ultrasound examination due to ongoing wrist pain, not relived by pain killers and mild paresthesia on the radial side of the hand. High resolu...

The superficial palmar arch (SPA) of the hand is generally formed by the ulnar artery (UA) and superficial palmar branch of the radial artery (RA). Very rarely, however, the SPA is formed by the median artery (MA) and RA. This was termed the median-radial type (MRT) of SPA by Adachi in 1961 in Keen (Am. J. Anat. 108: 245-61). The recent use of the RA as a coronary artery bypass graft in myocard...
