Title: Variation Between Median And Musculocutaneous Nerves
Abstract: We report a unilateral variation between median and musculocutaneous nerves in the arm of a 48 years old male cadaver. The median nerve is normally formed by the two roots from the medial and lateral cords. It enters the arm at first lateral to the brachial artery and descends medial to it without receiving any other branch. In this case, the median nerve originated normally from brachial plexus but received a branch from musculocutaneous nerve on its way to the cubital fossa. The abnormal branch from the musculocutaneous nerve coursed an oblique pathway to join the median nerve. These types of variations of the nerves of the arm should be considered prior to traumatic evaluations and reconstructive interventions.
