“…In addition to these findings, Ballesteros et al (2015) (7) found such branches with 5.78 cm length, significantly longer than our case's branch, as well as the case reported by Gelmi et al (2018) (8) in which the communicating branch extended from the axilla down to the level of the elbow where it finally rejoined the MN beneath the cephalic vein. Finally, in our case the communicating branch that we encountered, gave off no other branch (motor or sensor), in contrast to other cases in the literature, as the one described by Patil et al (9).…”

Objective. The aim of our paper is to depict an anatomical variation of the brachial plexus, concerning a communicating branch between the median and the musculocutaneous nerve and its clinical significance. Anatomical variations of the brachial plexus and especially those of the musculocutaneous nerve are quite common. Awareness of these variations is of paramount importance in clinical practice, mainly in achieving best results in minimal invasive or surgical procedures.Case Report. After dissection in upper extremities in a 89-year-old male cadaver, a communicating branch between the median and the musculocutaneous nerve was found. This communicating branch was formed before the musculocutaneous nerve perforated the coracobrachialis muscle. It also derived from the level of the ansa medianis and its course was of an approximately 2cm length.Conclusion. The clinical significance of our study is the entrapment of the musculocutaneous nerve that may cause clinical findings similar to those of the carpal tunnel syndrome.

“…During the search for literature, there were reports found which stated the communication to the MN from the musculocutaneous nerve [12][13][14] . There were also reports regarding the ulnar nerve communications [1][2][3][4][5][6] to the MN. The MN is of considerable importance both from the clinical and as well as surgical point of view.…”

“…Then, until the lower third of the arm, the MN runs on the lateral aspect of brachial artery, where it crosses the medial side of the brachial artery and later becomes a content of the cubital fossa. Variations in the branching pattern of MN and its communications with musculocutaneous [1][2][3][4][5][6] and ulnar nerves 7,8 , splitting of the nerve are some to mention, that have been reported by many authors. This paper reports a case of three lateral roots of the MN.…”

Introduction The median nerve is formed by the union of a lateral and a medial root from the lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus. Reports on the existence of variations in the formation, branching and communication of median nerve are seen in the literature. However, there are very few reports on the involvement of two additional lateral roots in the formation of the median nerve. Such variations are of considerable importance for surgeons, physiotherapists and other clinicians. The details regarding the formation of the median nerve, developmental considerations and its importance have been discussed here. Case report Apart from the normal roots, two additional lateral roots were given off from the lateral cord at the level of the second part of the axillary artery. These roots then coursed super icial to the axillary artery from the lateral to medial side to join the medial root, on the medial side of the axillary artery. The medial root then crossed on to the lateral side of the axillary artery to join the lateral root to form the median nerve. The rest of the course of the median nerve was found to be normal. Conclusion Surgeons during surgeries of the axilla and physiotherapists during rehabilitation would require knowledge of such variations in the axilla, along with use for other clinicians too.

“…A deflection from this normal embryological growth pattern results in anatomical variations. Knowledge of median nerve variations is important to anatomists, radiologists, anaesthe siologists and surgeons for help in diagnosis and surgical treatment of shoulder joint, repair operations of axilla and shoulder, radical neck dissections and in management of fracture, dislocations of surgical neck of humerus which can prevent any post-operative complications during surgery [14].…”

During routine cadaveric dissection while teaching undergraduate medical students, the median nerve on the left upper limb of a 60 year old female cadaver showed presence of an accessory lateral root arising from lateral cord of brachial plexus.It also pierced brachialis muscle in the arm before reaching cubital fossa. Knowledge of these variations is helpful in evaluating nerve injury and preventing complications during anaesthetic and surgical procedures in the axilla.
