Axillary arch: Potential cause of neurovascular compression syndrome

Axillary arch: Potential cause of neurovascular compression syndrome

During routine bilateral dissection of 64 upper limbs in 32 adult human cadavers, four cases of an axillary arch, a muscular anomaly, were found. In one case, the axillary arch presented on both sides and in two cases it presented unilaterally on the right side. The innervation and relationships of...

Zusammenfassung:During routine bilateral dissection of 64 upper limbs in 32 adult human cadavers, four cases of an axillary arch, a muscular anomaly, were found. In one case, the axillary arch presented on both sides and in two cases it presented unilaterally on the right side. The innervation and relationships of the axillary arches are reported and the surgical significance of the anomaly is discussed. Clin. Anat. 16:514–519, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
