Abstract
Background: The brachial artery begins as the continuation of 3rd part of axillary artery at the distal border of
teres major muscle. It terminates about a centimetre below the elbow joint at the level of neck of radius into
radial and ulnar arteries.
Context & purpose of study: The present study was done on 30 cadavers in department of anatomy to find out
any variations in division pattern of the brachial artery.
Results: Variations were found in two cadavers. An unusual short segment of the brachial artery which divide
at middle of arm was found in right upper limb of one cadaver. There was a high origin of the radial artery from
axillary artery found in right upper limb of one cadaver. The variations can be explained on the basis of
embryological development.
conclusions: The knowledge of branching pattern of brachial artery is useful for physicians, surgeons,
nephrologists, radiologist and interventionist in various surgical procedures and also for diagnostic and
therapeutic approaches.
