Abstract

 

Variations of brachial plexus in different ways are very often detected in upper limb. During our study, in a 75 years old cadaver we found the musculocutaneous nerve communicating with median nerve in the left arm. The musculocutaneous nerve gave a branch to coracobrachialis then the nerve merged with the lateral root of median nerve. Later the area of innervations of musculocutaneous nerve was replaced by Median nerve. The Median nerve originated normally from the union of medial and lateral root but gave two muscular branches in the arm, to Biceps brachii, Brachialis & a sensory branch which continued as lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. The course of Median nerve in the forearm was normal. The Musculocutaneous nerve of right side was present with normal course & routine branches.
