  • Abstract

    During routine dissection in the department of Anatomy, Padmashree Dr.D.Y.Patil Medical College,Pimpri, Pune,variation of brachial artery was found. It was labeled as superficial brachial artery as it was arising from third part of axillary artery and was superficial to nerves and vessels of axilla .This superficial brachial artery was dividing into Radial and Ulnar arteries. Also Common trunk for Subscapular and Anterior circumflex scapular arteries was seen arising from axillary artery. Its embryological basis is also discussed along with details of observations.
