“…Satyanarayana et al (2008) [9] found a four rooted median nerve with three lateral and one medial root. Venieratos et al [10] reported a communicating branch between musculcutaneous nerve and median nerve, this branch after originating from muculocutaneous nerve procceeds downwards and medially to join the median nerve in the lower third of arm. These workers [4], [6], [8] reported that extra roots of median nerve were present unilaterally.…”

The third root of median nerve though rare has definite embryological basis and clinical impact. The Present study was conducted in the postgraduate Department of Anatomy at Government Medical College Srinagar to study the variations in the number of roots of median nerve during routine dissection for academic purposes between 2001 -20014. Both upper limbs of 35 Indian cadavers were dissected out for routine anatomic teaching and simultaneously recording observations. It was observed that in one of the female cadavers the left median nerve had three roots (one medial and two lateral). The two lateral roots originated from the lateral cord and the medial root originated from medial cord of brachial plexus. The third root originated between the origins of the lateral root and the musculocutaneous nerve from lateral cord of brachial plexus. This anomalous root joined with the median nerve distal to the lateral root in the proximal third of arm. The third root of median nerve though rare is of great academic and clinical significance in Surgery, Neurophysiology, Orthopedics, Anaesthesiology, Sports medicine and Physiotherapy.

“…Another variation is communication between musculocutaneous nerve and median nerve. Venieratos and Anangnostopoulou [16] believed it to be the most frequent variant of this nerve where some fibers of the lateral root of the median nerve run along with the musculocutaneous nerve and after travelling some distance, leave the latter to join the ultimate destination (the median nerve). Communication between musculocutaneous and median nerve has been reported to seen with an incidence varying between10%-33.3% Type II-Some fibres of lateral root of median nerve pass through musculocutaneous nerve and join the median nerve at different levels in the form of communicating ramus.…”

Background: The brachial plexus is constituted by the ventral rami of C5-T1 spinal nerves. It forms a network of terminal nerves that innervate the upper limb. Variations of brachial plexus are common and a better awareness of variations is very crucial to achieve successful results in its surgical procedures. The aim of present study was to find the variant patterns of brachial plexus and to discuss their developmental and clinical significance.

“…We also observed that neither the nerve nor its communicating branch pierced the coracobrachialis muscle which is according to type 3 of Venieratos classification. 4 Fregnani et al and Pacholczak et al has reported absence of musculocutaneous nerve in the literature. 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.…”

Musculocutaneous nerve arises from lateral cord and supplies the muscles of front of arm and then continues as lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. Musculocutaneous nerve has frequent variations. Nerve may be doubled or even absent. There is unilateral absence of musculocutaneous nerve in this case. Musculocutaneous nerve arises from lateral cord and supplies the muscles of front of arm and then continues as lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. Musculocutaneous nerve has frequent variations. Nerve may be doubled or even absent. There is unilateral absence of musculocutaneous nerve in this case. Musculocutaneous nerve was seen to be absent in one case on right side. Branches arise either from lateral cord or median nerve to supply the flexor muscles of arm. Total absent musculocutaneous nerve is quiet uncommon. Hence knowledge of this variation can help clinicians in understanding the cause of weakness or paralysis of flexor muscles of arm due to median nerve injury which is unusual.
