introduction: median nerve (mn), one of terminal branches of brachial plexus, is commonly associated with several variations. this research aimed to review the literature related to the variations of mn from axillary region to cubital fossa. methods: we searched google scholar, science direct, springer, and pubmed electronic databases to compile reports related to the variation of mn published ...

atypical connections in the formation of the brachial plexus are prevalent and have been reported in different articles. the present report describes a case of variation of the median nerve observed in the iranian male cadaver during routine trial dissection. there are three roots for median nerve. median nerve is formed by joining two lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus. third root of ...

We observed an accessory branch of the musculocutaneous nerve. This variation has clinical importance in median nerve lesions and its distinctive diagnosis. The coracobrachialis muscle is usually supplied by the musculocutaneous nerve. Its innervation pattern exhibits a considerable variation [1]. The change in the innervation of the coracobrachialis muscle is reported to be closely correlated ...

AIM This study was aimed to investigate the variations in the spinal nerve root compositions of musculocutaneous nerve and to confirm which spinal nerve root is the main ingredient in participating amount. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 20 fresh cadavers were dissected. Brachial plexus and its branches were extracted. Musculocutaneous nerve stump was traced back to the roots to identify its ...

INTRODUCTION Restoring elbow flexion remains the first step in the management of total palsy of the brachial plexus. Non avulsed upper roots may be grafted on the musculocutaneous nerve. When this nerve is entirely grafted, some motor fibres regenerate within the sensory fibres quota. Aiming potential utilization of these lost motor fibres, we attempted suturing the sensory branch of the muscul...

introduction: the brachial plexus is responsible for the innervation to the upper limb and some parts of the thorax. variations in the branching of the brachial plexus are common and have been reported in 65.3% of the population. the variations (atypical communication) of brachial plexus have significant clinical and surgical importance. methods: in this study 10 upper limbs which belonged to 5...

A study was done to note the communications between the Musculocutaneous nerve and Median nerve. Of the 50 arms studied, 17 had variations. Communications from the Musculocutaneous nerve to the Median nerve were seen in 76.47% of the variant arms. Of these, 53.8% were in the upper 1/3 of the arm, 38.46% in the middle 1/3 and 7.69% in the distal 1/3 of the arm. A communicating branch from the Me...
