“…In addition to having its tendon shift in surgery for recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, providing dynamic stabilisation of the glenohumeral joint, especially when the arm is in a vulnerable position of abduction and lateral rotation [1,6,7].…”

“…It is inserted distally into the medial margin of the humeral shaft, between the distal insertions of the brachialis and triceps muscles. In a regular syntopy, the coracobrachialis muscle is pierced and innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve (MN) [9]; however, in some cases it has been reported that the MN does not pierce the coracobrachialis muscle [6].…”

“…The coracobrachialis, pectoralis major, short head of the biceps brachii, clavicular fibres of the deltoid, and subscapularis muscles form an effective muscle group for flexion and adduction of the arm, in addition to avoiding anterior dislocation of the shoulder [1,6].…”

“…From a morphological and surgical standpoint, the coracobrachialis muscle plays an important role in post-mastectomy reconstruction, infraclavicular and axillary deformities, and muscle transfer for the treatment of paralysis, as well as being a guide for axillary artery access and anaesthetic blockade of the brachial plexus [6,7].…”

Knowledge of anatomical variations in the peripheral nervous system is key in the interpretation of unusual clinical signs or during physical or diagnostic imaging. This case study is a description of an anatomical variation between the coracobrachialis muscle and brachial plexus. In a routine dissection in the human anatomy laboratory, we were faced with an anatomical variation in the coracobrachialis muscle, observed in the upper right limb of a male cadaver. The coracobrachialis muscle had a common origin at the apex of the coracoid process and then divided into two heads. The lateral head followed its normal course until insertion into the middle third of the humerus, while the medial head involved the lateral cord of the brachial plexus before insertion into the intermuscular septum in the proximal third of the humerus. Atypical anatomical variations have clinical andsurgical implications in procedures such as brachial plexus block and lateral cord compression. In these cases the result could be paralysis of the flexor musculature of the forearm and hypoesthesia of the forearm. (Folia Morphol 2017; 76, 4: 762-765)

Possible points of compression of the ulnar nerve: Tricks and traps that await clinicians from an anatomical point of view

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The ulnar nerve can be subject to numerous types of compression. The most common are cubital tunnel and ulnar tunnel syndromes, but there are many others with more uncommon etiologies. The existence of additional communicating branches, median nerve involvement, various types of injuries, and unusual anatomical variations can be a challenge for both diagnosis and treatment. This review presents a comprehensive depiction of ulnar nerve entrapment syndromes with particular reference to their anatomical background, risk factors, and clinical evaluation. Even common disorders can result from atypical morphological changes. It is important to be familiar with them as it is a key ability in daily medical practice.
