Anomalies of the ramification of arteries in the upper extremity are an important consideration due to the large number of invasive procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, performed particularly in the cubital region of the upper limb. It is important for health professionals to be aware of arterial variation to prevent complications during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Here, we describe a rare unilateral anomaly of the brachial artery which courses subcutaneously through the right arm to the cubital region in a 75 year-old female patient.

Pulsatile Pressure

An iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery and spontaneous venous malformation are associated with median nerve compression. However, the superficial brachial artery (SBA) has rarely been described as the cause of neurological deficits due to median nerve compression. A 61-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with a 1-year history of intermittent aching palsy in the left thumb that had progressed to the first three fingers. Clinical examination revealed mild sensory disturbance and hyperpathia in the first three fingers and weakness of the opponens pollicis. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that the SBA was compressing the median nerve by almost one-third. When anomalies of the SBA impinge on the median nerve, pulsatile pressure is applied to the nerve trunk. This may trigger ectopic stimulation of sensory fibers, leading to severe pain, sensory neuropathy, and motor disturbance. Considering the substantial difficulties and risks of a surgical operation as well as the patient’s wish to undergo conservative treatment, we performed muscle relaxation and acupuncture to relieve the pressure of the surrounding soft tissue and in turn decrease the impingement of the SBA on the median nerve. A satisfactory treatment effect was reached in this case.

Arterial Anatomy

Variations of the upper limb arterial system are well documented. Accurate knowledge of the normal and variant arterial anatomy of the axillary artery is important for clinical procedures and vascular radiology. In this article, a rare bilateral variation of superficial brachial artery is being reported. The axillary artery on both sides divided in its third part into a superficial brachial artery passing superficial to the lateral root of median nerve and brachial artery proper. The former terminated in the cubital fossa by dividing into ulnar and radial arteries while the later descended deep to the medial root of median nerve and gave anterior and posterior circumflex humeral branches of axillary artery and profunda brachii of brachial artery. Then it terminated by giving twigs to muscles of arm. Earlier superficial brachial artery is reported with a prevalence rate varying from 0.2 - 25 % but a bilateral variation is extremely rare. Further its ontogeny and clinical implications are discussed in detail.
