Abstract
During routine dissection in 50 upper limbs of 25 donated embalmed cadavers (15 males & 10 females) in the department of Anatomy at K.J. Somaiya Medical College, Sion, Mumbai, an extra profunda brachii artery was found in a male cadaver of 75 years in the left upper limb. The profunda brachii artery - one was originating from the posteromedial aspect of the brachial artery, distal to teres major muscle. It gave a nutrient artery to the humerus and travelled with posterior descending (middle collateral) artery & ended by anastomosing with interosseous recurrent artery behind the lateral epicondyle. The other profunda brachii artery was originating from the posterior circumflex humeral artery in quadrangular space, around the surgical neck of the humerus. It divided into the anterior descending (Radial collateral) & the posterior descending (middle collateral) arteries. The presence of double profunda brachii arteries in the radial groove may result in excessive hemorrhage during fractures. Topographical anatomies of the normal and abnormal variations of the brachial artery are clinically important for surgeons, orthopaedicians and radiologists performing angiographic studies on the upper limb.
