Variation of the median nerve in the forearm and the wrist.
Rare type of division of the median nerve in proximal 1/3 of the forearm was described. The finding was made during autopsy of 53 years old white man. A nerve branch that run separately from the main trunk of the median nerve appeared to be the common digital nerve to the 3rd and 4th finger. Between this branch and the main trunk the radial head of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle was situated, that eventually converged into the tendon of the superficial flexor of the middle finger.
