Abstract
During routine dissection for first M.B.B.S. students on 65 year donated embalmed male cadaver in the Department of Anatomy, K. J. Somaiya Medical College, I encountered variations termination of axillary artery on left side. The axillary artery, at the level of the lower border of Teres Major muscle divided into radial and ulnar arteries. The radial artery continued downward just like the brachial artery and at the level of neck of radius gave out a common interosseus branch. The radial artery performed the role of brachial artery in the arm. It gave rise to all branches which are usually given by brachial artery. It gave Profunda brachii, muscular and anastomotic collateral branches. The ulnar artery continued on the medial side of the branch without giving any branches. From the level of the neck of radius, its course was normal. The termination of axillary artery was normal on the right side of the same male cadaver. The photographs of the variations of axillary artery were taken for proper documentation and for ready reference. Conclusion: Topographical anatomies of the normal and abnormal variations of the axillary artery are clinically important for surgeons, orthopaedicians and radiologists performing angiographic studies on the upper limb. The appropriate diagnostic interpretation and therapeutic intervention can be achieved on the basis of knowledge of such variations.
