An unusual variation of brachial plexus
Özet
Objective: Knowledge of brachial plexus anatomy is quite important for numerous invasive treatments such as surgical operations requiring deep neck dissection and regional anesthesia applications. In this case report, it is aimed to demonstrate an unusual brachial plexus variation.
Methods: During routine dissection in our laboratory we observed variations in the formation of trunks and cords on the right brachial plexus of embalmed 61 years old male cadaver.
Results: On the right brachial plexus of the cadaver Upper, middle and lower trunks were formed by ventral rami of C4-C5, C6- C7 and C8-T1, respectively. Posterior cord was formed by union of posterior division of upper and middle trunks. Lower trunk continued as medial cord as a whole by the reason that is not divided into anterior and posterior divisions. Furthermore medial cord didn’t give a branch as medial root of the median nerve also ulnar and median nerves were arising together.
Conclusion: The knowledge of anotomy and variations of brachial blexus which is vulnerable in traumas and surgical procedures, would be beneficial to physicians during diagnostic and treatment steps.
