ABSTRACT

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves found in the upper extremity of the human body. Anomalies in the brachial plexus are quite common. Such anomalies are to be considered during surgery and regional anaesthesia to avoid neuronal damage. During routine dissection of the left upper limb of a nearly 55-year-old male cadaver in ESIC Medical College, Hyderabad, accidentally we noticed communication between median nerve and musculocutaneous nerve of brachial plexus in the middle of the arm. Previously such communications were found, reported, and have been classified into many types. Despite such anomalies, there is no hindrance to the day to day activities of a person.

Keywords: Brachial plexus, Median nerve, Musculocutaneous nerve, Communication.
