Bilateral Multiple Variations in the Formation of the Brachial Plexus and its Terminal Nerves: A Case Report

Abstract

Variations in formation of brachial plexus roots, trunks, divisions and cords are not uncommon and maybe of important in regional anaesthesia involving the upper limb. However, in the present case we are reporting a rare bilateral multiple variations observed during routine dissection on a 77-years-old embalmed male cadaver on left and right brachial plexus. Understanding the anatomical variations involving brachial plexus is important and might benefit the physicians, surgeons, anaesthesiologists and euroanatomists during their routine procedures involving the cervical, axillary and the upper limb regions.
