A rare constellation of multiple upper limb anomalies
Folia Morphol 2008;67(4):236-239.
Abstract
We describe an unusual combination of unilateral upper limb variations, including
an axillary arch, absence of a “typical” musculocutaneous nerve, direct
lateral cord innervation of the muscles usually supplied by the musculocutaneous
nerve, variant superficial brachial artery, a high anomalous origin of the
common interosseous artery and a superficial ulnar artery noted during routine
cadaver dissection. The embryological basis, recent molecular insights concerning
such a constellation of anomalies and its clinical relevance are discussed.
