Variation of brachial artery,median nerve and axillary nerve of unilateral upper limb：a case report

The anatomical variation of the blood vessels and brachial plexus of the upper limb is very complicated.In general population,the brachial artery divides into the radial artery and ulnar artery in cubital fossa.The median nerve consists of lateral and medial roots,and the axillary nerve divides into...

Summary:The anatomical variation of the blood vessels and brachial plexus of the upper limb is very complicated.In general population,the brachial artery divides into the radial artery and ulnar artery in cubital fossa.The median nerve consists of lateral and medial roots,and the axillary nerve divides into anterior and posterior branches after passing through the quadrangular space.
