摘要
Variations of the brachial plexus and its terminal branches are not uncommon. Therein, the anatomical variations of the musculocutaneous and the median nerve are classified into 5 types, while the communicating branches between the musculocutaneous and the median nerve are classified into 3 types, depending on their position related to the coracobrachial muscle. The case reviewed in this paper presents a variation similar to that of the second variety, but is significantly different due to the appearance of the proximal musculocutaneous nerve and its communicating branching, the site rising from the communicating branch (through the coracobrachial), and important clinical implications of this new variation. Despite the communicating branch being located in the upper third of the upper arm, it should not be considered as being a double lateral root of the median nerve.
