Abstract

Ze Jiang, Lina Leng, Daowen SI and Tiantao Wang

Variations of the brachial plexus regarding the composition of nerve fibres and absence or communications are common and being reported by several authors. The objective of the study was to observe and document the variation on the subject of branches of the median nerve. This report will assist clinicians and surgeons by considering anatomical variation associated with the median nerve in interpreting atypical clinical presentations. This report illustrates the two variations in details and explains the consequences they lead to. It also provides first hand anatomic data and great referential value for the future clinical work.
