Cureus A Cadaveric Study to Define the Variant Patterns of

The median nerve is one of the important nerves of the upper limb which supplies the muscles of the front of the forearm, muscles of the hand, and skin of the hand. Many works of literature mentioned its formation by the fusion of two roots, the medial root from the medial cord and the lateral root from the lateral cord. But multiple variations in the median nerve formation have clinical importance from surgical and anesthetic points of view. For the study purpose, we dissected 68 axillae of 34 formalin-fixed cadavers. Out of 68 axillae, two (2.9%) showed median nerve formation by a single root, 19 (27.9%) showed median nerve formation by three roots, and three (4.4%) showed median nerve formation by four roots. A normal pattern of median nerve formation by fusion of two roots was seen in 44 (64.7%) axilla. The knowledge of variant patterns of median nerve formation will be helpful to surgeons and anesthetists while performing surgical or anesthetic procedures in the axilla to avoid any injury to the median nerve.
