Abstract
During the routine dissection on a donated embalmed cadaver in the department of Anatomy at K. J. Somaiya Medical College, Sion, Mumbai, a double profunda brachii artery was found in a male cadaver of 65 years in the left upper limb. The profunda brachii artery - 1 was originating from the posteromedial aspect of the brachial artery, distal to teres major muscle. The profunda brachii artery – 2 was originating from the posterior circumflex humeral artery in quadrangular space around the surgical neck of the humerus. The profunda brachii artery - 2 divides into the anterior descending (Radial collateral) & the posterior descending (middle collateral) arteries. The profunda brachii artery – 1 gives nutrient artery to the humerus and runs with posterior descending (middle collateral) artery & ends by anastomosing with interosseous recurrent artery behind the lateral epicondyle. The presence of double profunda brachii arteries in the radial groove may result in excessive haemorrhage during fractures. Topographical anatomy of the normal and abnormal variations of the brachial artery is clinically important for surgeons, orthopaedicians and radiologists performing angiographic studies on the upper limb.
