AN ELUCIDATION OF UNILATERAL HIGH BIFURCATION OF BRACHIAL AR-TERY WITH SUPERFICIAL COURSE OF RADIAL ARTERY

The Brachial artery is typically the continuation of the Axillary artery, which starts at the inferior border of the Teres Major muscle which in turn splits into the ulnar and radial arteries, which are the main arteries that supply blood to the forearm, at the radius's neck in the cubital fossa. We discovered a case of unilateral higher bifurcation of the brachial artery in the proximal half of the right arm, 2.2 cm distal to the inferior border of the Teres Major muscle, with the superficial course of the radial artery during routine dissection of a 75-year-old male North Indian male upper extremity fixed with 10% formalin. During vascular and reconstructive procedures, accurate information about these variations is crucial in vascular and reconstructive surgery and also in the evaluation of angiographic images
