Axillary arch and other neurovascular anomalies in a cadaver
Abstract:
The co-existence of multiple variants in the axilla has been rarely documented. Hence, we report the multiple variations of axillary structures and axillary arch. During a dissection of axilla of adult male cadaver, following variations were encountered. a) One superficial and complete type of axillary arch on left axilla only. b) Venous chiasma between the basilic vein and brachial vein of both sides. c) Abnormal course of intercosto-brachial nerve on left side d) Presence of two medial cutaneous nerve of forearm and the absence of medial cutaneous nerve of arm on left side only. The presence of such variations should be kept in mind while performing various invasive and surgical techniques.
