The absent musculocutaneous nerve: A systematic review
The musculocutaneous nerve is occasionally absent in humans. Accordingly, there may be unforeseen clinical implications regarding the atypical innervation of the musculature otherwise supplied by the musculocutaneous nerve.

Unusual nerve supply of biceps from ulnar nerve and median nerve and a third head of biceps
Variations in branching pattern of the brachial plexus are common and have been reported by several investigators. Of the four main nerves traversing the arm, namely median, ulnar, radial and musculocutaneous, the ulnar and median nerve do not give any ...

Direct electrical injury to brachial plexus
Electrical current can cause neurological damage directly or by conversion to thermal energy. However, electrical injury causing isolated brachial plexus injury without cutaneous burns is extremely rare.

A Variant Course of Lateral Root of Median Nerve: Embryological Basis
During routine dissection of the right arm of 50 year old male cadaver, we observed that the lateral root of median nerve was piercing the coracobrachialis muscle before joining the medial root of median to form the median nerve.

ABSENCE OF MUSCULOCUTANEOUS NERVE - A RARE VARIATION.
This study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala in 100 upper limbs of 50 cadavers. The variations in the origin, course and branching pattern of musculocutaneous nerve were observed. Complete absence of musculocutaneous nerve was observed in the left upper limb (1%) of a male cadaver and median ...

Ultrasound does not shorten the duration of procedure but provides a faster sensory and motor block onset in comparison to nerve stimulator in infraclavicular brachial plexus block [PDF]
BackgroundInfraclaviculr Brachial plexus (ICBP) block is useful for upper extremity surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the ultrasound (US) technique with the nerve stimulation (NS) technique in their success rates and times to perform ICBP ...

Sonographic Imaging of the Superficial Radial Nerve and its Branches: A Pictorial Review
ABSTRACT Entrapment of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) can be a source of radial wrist, dorsal hand, and thumb pain which can be challenging to clinically differentiate from other pathological entities. Ultrasound allows direct visualization of the SRN and its branches as well as the assessment of the site, extent, and type of nerve injury or ...
