Abstract:
During gross anatomy dissection, variation in the formation of median nerve of the upper limb was discovered in the
right upper extremity of a 57-year-old male cadaver. Three roots contributed to the formation of median nerve
instead of usual two roots i.e. two lateral roots and one medial root. After being formed the median nerve descended
medial to the axillary artery. Between the two lateral roots brachial vein passed to open into the axillary vein.
Anatomical variations in the formation of nerves and their unusual relationship to the surrounding structures can be
the cause of nerve compression syndromes and vascular problems.
