Abstract:
Introduction: The arterial pattern of adult human upper limb shows a large number of variations. Embryological basis of these arterial variations found in the arm and forearm arteries can be explained by persistence of the supercial embryonic vessels in adults. The present study Methods: was done in 30 cadavers in the department of anatomy, K.P.C. Medical College, Kolkata to nd out variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb. Observation And Results: The supercial brachial artery that passes supercial to the median nerve was present in 5% cases. The brachioradial artery (high origin of radial artery) was present in 6.67% cases. The brachioradial artery took origin from axillary artery in 1 specimen, from upper third of brachial artery in 2 specimens and from middle third of brachial artery in 1 specimen. The brachioulnar artery (high origin of ulnar artery) was observed only in 1 specimen (1.67%) on the left side. The supercial ulnar artery was present in 1 specimen (1.67%) and that was on the right side. Conclusion: The information of patterns and incidence of these arterial variations are especially important for clinicians and surgeons performing invasive procedures to a particular area of arm and forearm.
