“…On the other hand, the positional relation between vascular and peripheral nervous structures has been investigated in morphological studies of the brachial region. A number of studies have examined variations in the pathways of the axillary artery (Singer, 1923;Adachi, 1928;De Garis and Swartley, 1928;Hukuyama, 1938;Miller, 1939;Mori, 1941;Huelke, 1959;Keen, 1961;Chiba, 1986;Satou and Takahashi, 1987;Bergman et al, 1988;Aizawa et al, 1996). Most of these examinations focused on categorization and statistical analysis.…”

“…However, it may persist in 1.1-27.1% of the individuals, as has reported in different studies [4][5][6][7][8][9]. In most of the cases, it simply accompanies the median nerve which is in the hand, but it may even perforate the median nerve [8,10,11]. The later entity is however rarely seen.…”

Introduction: Neurovascular variations in the upper limb are common and they are well documented. An accurate knowledge of the normal and the variant anatomy of the median nerve and the median artery are important for clinical procedures and for vascular surgeries. The persistant median artery is one such anomaly which was seen in 6.6% (4) of the 60 upper limbs which were dissected in the present study, it being bilateral in one cadaver. Material and Methods:The present study was conducted on 60 upper limbs of 30 cadavers at the Government Medical College, Amritsar, India. The whole course of the median nerve and the persistant median artery was exposed. Results:In all the 4 variant limbs, the persistent median artery originated from the anterior interrosseous artery and terminated in the incomplete mediano-ulnar type of the superficial palmar arch. In three upper limbs, the persistant median artery simply accompanied the median nerve upto the palm. But in the left upper limb of the cadaver with the bilateral variation, the artery penetrated and divided the nerve into two halves which joined to form a neural loop around the artery. Thereafter, the nerve and the artery followed the same course upto the palm. Such a penetration of the median nerve by the persistent median artery is extremely rare. Further, its ontogeny and clinical implications have been discussed in detail.
