“…This knowledge plays a crucial role in guiding nerve block procedures, surgical approaches for tumors in the brachial plexus region, and orthopedic treatment of cervical rib injuries and other upper limb conditions. For example, neurosurgeons can leverage this understanding to enhance surgical interventions for nerve sheath tumors like schwannomas and neurofibromas [ 7 , 15 ]. Anesthesiologists and surgeons also benefit significantly from this knowledge, as it improves their guidance during nerve block procedures and surgical interventions.…”

“…Given that anatomical anomalies within the brachial plexus are frequently encountered, their potential implications for surgical procedures and anesthesia administration are noteworthy. The aim of this case study was to investigate the embryological explanations for classic and atypical brachial plexus anomalies [ 5 ] and consider their implications such as in assessing a shoulder injury, administering a nerve block, or performing neurosurgery or orthopedic surgery in this region [ 6 , 7 ].…”

This study presents the routine prosection findings of a 74-year-old male anatomical donor, whose cause of death was attributed to anoxic brain injury secondary to cardiac arrest and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The patient exhibited a significant medical history, including severe COPD, chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, stage III chronic kidney disease, heavy alcohol abuse, obesity, coronary artery disease, peripheral edema, triple bypass surgery, and right hip replacement. A detailed examination of the upper extremities revealed anomalies within the brachial plexus, with a more pronounced presence on the left side. This particular donor deviates from the expected "typical" brachial plexus anatomy, with a lack of convergence into a lateral cord and an anomalous convergence into a superior trunk. To ensure optimal patient care and procedural outcomes, a collaborative approach between surgeons and anesthesiologists that is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of these anatomical nuances is essential. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively investigate the identified brachial plexus anomalies, elucidate their embryological origins, and explore their clinical implications. Through these objectives, this research contributes to a broader understanding of anatomical variations and their relevance in medical practice.

“…Редко верхний и нижний стволы объединяются в один ствол, который затем разделяется на переднее и заднее разделения [2]. Средний ствол может отсутствовать в 1,6% случаев [11]. Нижний ствол может отсутствовать в 1-10% случаев [2].…”

“…Rarely, the upper and lower trunks are combined into one trunk, which is then divided into anterior and posterior divisions [2]. The middle trunk may be absent in 1.6% of cases [11]. The lower trunk may be absent in 1-10% of cases [2].…”

The brachial plexus (BP) is a complex of nerve structures arising from the ventral rami of the lower four cervical (C5-C8) and upper thoracic (Th1) spinal nerves. The number of described variants of BP has been increasing every decade. This paper analyzes the world literature data on the anatomy of the BP. The sources of information used included: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Biosis Citation Index, SciELO Citation Index, RSCI data bases. It was noted that the anatomy of the BP is variable, its "classic" variant of the structure occurs in less than 50% of cases. In other cases, there were significant differences in structure and course from the "classic" version. Keywords: Brachial plexus, trunk, bundle, variant anatomy, "classic" scheme.
