ABSTRACTUpper limb shows a large number of arterial variations. This case report describes the presence of additional superficial ulnar artery which was used to raise a pedicle flap to cover an arm defect thus avoided using the main vessel of the forearm - radial or ulnar artery. Vascular anomalies occurring in the arm and forearm tend to increase the likelihood of damaging the superficial anomalous arteries during surgery. Superficial ulnar or radial arteries have been described to originate from the upper third of the brachial artery; here we report the origin of the anomalous superficial ulnar artery originating from the brachial artery at the level of elbow with the concomitant presence of normal deep radial and ulnar arteries.

Superficial Ulnar Artery

The principal arteries of the upper limb show a wide range of variation that is of considerable interest to orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists and anatomists. We present here a case of superficial ulnar artery found during the routine dissection of right upper limb of a 50-year-old male cadaver. The superficial ulnar artery originated from the brachial artery, crossed the median nerve anteriorly and ran lateral to this nerve and the brachial artery. The superficial ulnar artery in the arm gave rise to a narrow muscular branch to the biceps brachii. At the elbow level the artery ran superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis where it was crossed by the median cubital vein. It then ran downward and medially superficial to the forearm flexor muscles, and then downward to enter the hand. At the palm, it formed the superficial and deep palmar arches together with the branches of the radial artery. The presence of a superficial ulnar artery is clinically important when raising forearm flaps in reconstructive surgery. The embryology and clinical significance of the variation are discussed.

Superficial Ulnar Artery

ABSTRACTAny kind of anatomical variation whether encountered during cadaveric dissections or routine clinical or surgical procedures needs to be reported and taken into account. This can be quite helpful in planning surgeries accordingly and avoid disastrous complications. During routine cadaveric dissection, authors found a superficial course of arteries of the arm as well as the forearm, unilaterally in one cadaver. In this case, there were two brachial arteries - superficial and deep. Superficial brachial artery terminated into superficial radial and superficial ulnar artery. Deep brachial artery was trifurcated into common interosseous, medial and lateral artery branches. Authors have also discussed the developmental anomaly, which could have led to the observed morphological variation. Superficial vessels can provide large size pedicles for raising flaps for local reconstructive surgeries in the region of axilla, elbow, wrist or hand, or other regions.

Cystic adventitial disease is a condition where mucinous cyst(s) develop within the adventitia of blood vessels, especially arteries. The most affected vessel is the popliteal artery while the upper limb vasculature is seldom involved. To our knowledge, there are only 2 articles reporting this disease in the ulnar artery. We present a case of a 52-year-old female patient, a manual worker in a clothing factory, with a month history of increasing pain in her right wrist and gradual weakness that incapacitated her for work activities. She was finally treated surgically and an adventitial cyst of the ulnar artery compressing the ulnar nerve was diagnosed.

AbstractArterial variations in the arm are of great clinical importance as this area is commonly involved in many surgical and invasive procedures. During dissection, we observed in the right upper limb a variation in the division and branching pattern of brachial artery in a female cadaver. The short segmented brachial artery divided about 6 cms. above the line joining the epicondyles of the humerus, but not in the cubital fossa. The course of the two divisions in the forearm is normal. Knowledge of these variation patterns is useful during surgeries.

AbstractDuring routine dissection of a cadaver alloted to the undergraduate students in the department of anatomy in SN Medical College, Bagalkot, the authors found multiple variations in the branching pattern of brachial, ulnar and radial arteries. There was high division of brachial artery into ulnar and radial arteries. The profunda brachii originated from brachial artery as usual while superior and inferior ulnar collateral arteries originated from ulnar artery. The radial artery gave origin to common interosseous artery which further divided into anterior and posterior interosseous arteries. All the three arteries i.e. brachial, ulnar and radial were considered as superficial arteries as they were superficial throughout the course. These observations of vascular anomalies are of clinical significance to vascular and plastic surgeons.

Background: Variations in upper limb arteries have been frequently observed. Accurate knowledge of muscular and neurovascular variations is important for both surgeons and radiologists, which may prevent diagnostic errors.Methods: A study was done to note the variations in the termination of brachial artery in relation to the level of termination and the terminal branches. A total of 60 upper limbs (33 Right, 27 Left) were studied. The level of termination of brachial artery was identified based on the distance between the intercondylar line and the point of termination. The classic textbook description of brachial artery bifurcating into radial and ulnar arteries, 1 cm distal to elbow joint (ICL) was taken as normal.Results: A high origin of radial artery was noted in 11.67% of cases. Variations in the origin and relationship of median nerve to brachial artery, radial artery and ulnar artery was seen in 4 cases.Conclusions: Due to higher incidence of anatomical variations of arteries of the upper limb, prior anatomical knowledge of anomalies is of great clinical significance to vascular surgeons, orthopaedicians and radiologists performing angiographic studies.
