Superficial palmer arch, incomplete arch, ulnar artery in hand.
Abstract
The superficial palmar arch is formed by superficial terminal branch of ulnar artery and completed on radial side by either of the superficial palmar branch of radial artery, arteria princeps pollicis, arteria radialis indicis or arteria nervi mediana. It lies beneath the palmar aponeurosis and in front of long flexor tendons, lumbricals and palmar digital branches of median nerve. We report a case of bilateral anomalous palmar arches found during routine dissection of superior extremity of a sixty- five year old male cadaver. In this case, the medial end of the arch was formed as usual by superficial terminal branch of ulnar artery. But at the radial side, the arch was not completed by any of the arteries. Instead, it was terminated by forming the interdigital artery for the web space between middle and index fingers. The arteria princeps pollicis and arteria indicis are arising from the deep palmar arch. The knowledge of anatomical variation has immense importance during diagnostic procedures (angiography) as well as during vascular surgery of hand.
