ABSTRACT
Arterial variations in the arm are of potential clinical implications as it is a frequent site of injury and also involved in many surgical and invasive procedures. During a dissection of the right upper extremity, an abnormal high origin of the radial and ulnar arteries was found. The brachial artery had a very short segment without any branches, divided into the radial and ulnar arteries at the upper third of the arm. The course and branching pattern of these radial and ulnar arteries in the arm are discussed. It was also observed that the profunda brachii artery was represented by two separate branches arising from the posterior circumflex humeral artery. Accurate knowledge of these variation patterns is of considerable clinical importance in the conduct of reparative surgeries around the shoulder and fracture management of the humerus. These additional data of arterial anomalies to contemporary anatomical literature are of interest to clinicians, in particular vascular and plastic surgeons and radiologists.
RESUMO
As variações arteriais no braço têm potenciais implicações clínicas já que o braço é um sítio de lesões frequentes, além de estar envolvido em muitos procedimentos cirúrgicos e invasivos. Durante a dissecção da extremidade superior direita, uma origem alta anormal das artérias radial e ulnar foi encontrada. A artéria braquial apresentava um segmento muito curto sem quaisquer ramos, dividindo-se nas artérias radial e ulnar no terço superior do braço. O curso e o padrão de ramificação das artérias radial e ulnar no braço são discutidos. Também se observou que a artéria braquial profunda estava representada por dois ramos separados, surgindo da artéria umeral circunflexa posterior. O conhecimento preciso sobre esses padrões de variação é de considerável importância na realização de cirurgias reparadoras na região do ombro e no manejo de fraturas de úmero. Estes dados adicionais sobre as anomalias arteriais para a literatura anatômica contemporânea são de grande interesse para os médicos, especialmente para cirurgiões plásticos e vasculares e radiologistas.
