Abstract

ABSTRACT :

        Variations of the Brachial plexus and communication between its branches are commonly reported in literature. The present case describes bilateral variation of Brachial plexus in the infraclavicular part. During routine dissection of a male cadaver, a single common cord from which all branches of Brachial plexus were arising in the right upper limb. In the left upper limb, there was a communicating branch from Musculocutaneous nerve to Median nerve. These variations are important for Surgeons and Anaesthesiologists in their clinical practice during surgical and anaesthetic approaches in the region of axilla and arm.

KEY WORDS :
