Common interosseous artery arising from the radial artery and ulnar artery origin from proximal brachial artery: multipl arterial variants

Abstract

The normal ulnar artery originates from the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. The high origin ulnar artery is a rare anatomic variation. Anatomic variations in the arteries of the upper extremities have been reported by different authors. It is significant for surgeons and radiologists to be aware of the possible arterial variations in order to hinder complications during surgical and diagnostic procedures. This report demonstrates an anomalous origin of the ulnar artery from the proximal brachial artery.

Common interosseous artery arising from the radial artery and ulnar artery origin from proximal brachial artery: multipl arterial variants

Abstract

Normal ulnar arter kübital fossada brakial arterden köken alır. Yüksek ayrım gösteren ulnar arter nadir bir anatomik varyasyondur. Üst ekstremite arterinin anatomik varyasyonları birçok yazar tarafından rapor edilmiştir. Cerrahlar ve radyologlar açısından olası arter varyasyonlarının belirlenmesi cerrahi ve tanısal prosedür deki komplikasyonlar açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu olguda proksimal brakial arterden köken alan anormal orijinli ulnar arter gösterilmiştir

Keywords

• Ulnar arter, anatomik varyasyon, proksimal brakial arter
