Abstract

Brachial plexus is the point of formation of many nerves, innervates the upper limb and its variations are common. Knowledge of these is important to anatomists, radiologist anesthesiologists and surgeons. The presence of anatomical variations of the peripheral nervous system is often used to explain unexpected clinical signs and symptoms. During the routine dissection, an interconnection was seen between the musculocutaneous nerve and the median nerve at the middle of the arm. Knowledge of such communications between musculocutaneous and median nerve will be helpful in surgical repair of the nerves.

Keywords: Brachial plexus, median nerve, musculocutaneous nerve.
