Anomalies of the ramification of arteries in the upper extremity are an important consideration due to the large number of invasive procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, performed particularly in the cubital region of the upper limb. It is important for health professionals to be aware of arterial variation to prevent complications during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Here, we describe a rare unilateral anomaly of the brachial artery which courses subcutaneously through the right arm to the cubital region in a 75 year-old female patient.

AbstractThere are many articles reporting anomalies of various blood vessels of upper extremity. In the present article, we are reporting a case of high division of brachial artery into medial and lateral branches, 9.5 cm distal to the lower border of teres major muscle. It was also observed that the two branches are crossing over near the lower part of front of arm and the lateral branch continued into the cubital fossa and trifurcated at the proximal border of pronator teres muscle. We have discussed the anatomy, embryological basis, and clinical implications of these variations along with relevant literature review. The importance of knowledge about these variations in therapeutic and diagnostic interventions is discussed.

Variations of the upper limb arterial system are well documented. Accurate knowledge of the normal and variant arterial anatomy of the axillary artery is important for clinical procedures and vascular radiology. In this article, a rare bilateral variation of superficial brachial artery is being reported. The axillary artery on both sides divided in its third part into a superficial brachial artery passing superficial to the lateral root of median nerve and brachial artery proper. The former terminated in the cubital fossa by dividing into ulnar and radial arteries while the later descended deep to the medial root of median nerve and gave anterior and posterior circumflex humeral branches of axillary artery and profunda brachii of brachial artery. Then it terminated by giving twigs to muscles of arm. Earlier superficial brachial artery is reported with a prevalence rate varying from 0.2 - 25 % but a bilateral variation is extremely rare. Further its ontogeny and clinical implications are discussed in detail.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and anatomical characteristics of Struthers’ ligament and the supracondylar humeral process and evaluate the clinical implications in compressive neuropathy of the median nerve . Method: We dissected 60 arms from 30 cadavers (26 males and 4 females): 15 were previously preserved in formalin and glycerin and 15 were dissected fresh in the Anatomy Laboratory for this paper. The relationships between Struthers’ ligament and the median nerve and brachial artery and veins were documented with drawings and photos . Results: The supracondylar humeral process was not found in any of the 60 dissected arms. Struthers’ ligament was identified in six arms (two bilateral); in all cases high insertion of the pronator teres muscle was observed . Conclusion: Struthers’ ligament is an aponeurotic structure that may or may not be associated with the supracondylar humeral process, and is an important potential site of median nerve compression in the lower third of the arm.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to describe a morphological variation of the bifurcation of the brachial artery, which was located at a higher level in the right arm of a male corpse. This variation was found during a dissection process performed at the anatomy laboratory of the Centro Universitário de Volta Redonda, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by graduates in medicine during a course of dissection conducted by the Academic League of Human Anatomy of the institution. The brachial artery was located medial in the arm, as usual, but its bifurcation into the radial and ulnar arteries happened prematurely, midway down the diaphysis. The morphological variation has previously been described by other authors; its occurrence is not well established yet, since there are articles that say it is common, and others that say it is rare. The implication of this morphological variation in medical practice is related to the measure of blood pressure in the arm; this higher bifurcation of the brachial artery can be confusing for the health provider measuring the blood pressure of a patient. This article describes a morphological variation and hopes to help to elucidate its patterns.

Nasal Resonance

A group of sophisticated listeners judged the nasal resonance characteristics of normal children versus children evidencing selected rhinologic disorders under three speaking conditions. Results showed that perceptions of denasality are influenced by both speakers and speaking tasks. That is, children with allergic rhinitis and edemic adenoids were perceived as being denasal when they produced VCV utterances and recited sentences. However, their resonance characteristics were deemed normal for vowel productions. Interestingly, children with severely deviated septums were judged to have normal nasal resonance under all speaking conditions. Clinical implications are discussed.
