Abstract
Various communications between the different branches of brachial plexus have been reported by many authors
but the communication between the radial and ulnar nerve; the branches of posterior and medial cords
of brachial plexus in the arm is very rare. It features the communicating ramus travelling from proximal radial
nerve and distal ulnar nerve at a high humeral level in the right arm of a 56 year old male cadaver. Knowledge
of such variations may be of importance in the evaluation of certain entrapment phenomenon of ulnar nerve
or unexplained sensory loss after trauma or surgical interventions in that particular area is also of clinical
significance in anaesthetic blocks.
