Abstract:
The ulnar artery may lie in a superficial position in the forearm as a normal anatomical variant. We report a case where this variant was clinically mistaken for phlebitis but was diagnosed correctly with Doppler ultrasound. In this report, we discuss the anatomy and clinical relevance of the superficial ulnar artery.
