“…Therefore, the musculocutaneous nerve may be absent or variation from theoretical point of view. Related variation or absence of the musculocutaneous nerve has been reported in the literature (Fregnani et al, 2008;Pacholczak et al, 2011;Tomar & Wadhwa, 2012).…”

“…Parchand and Patil reported complete merging of musculocutaneous nerve into median nerve and branches from median nerve innervated the muscles of anterior compartment instead of musculocutaneous nerve as observed in our study. [5][6][7] Malukar and Rathva also reported the absence of musculocutaneous nerve and its fibres pass through the median nerve. 8 Prasad Rao and Chaudhary reported absence of musculocutaneous nerve in 8% of upper limb specimens.…”

“…Se ha descripto la asociación entre la ausencia del nervio musculocutáneo y su reemplazo por el nervio mediano y la presencia de la cabeza accesoria humeral del bíceps braquial. En estos casos la inervación de los músculos de la región anterior del brazo pueden estar inervados por el mediano o por la raíz lateral del plexo braquial, el cual puede perforar, al igual que el nervio musculocutáneo al músculo corabobraquial (Fregnani et al, 2008;Ongeti et al;Al-Kushi).…”
