title: [A superficial ulnar artery with high origin and atypical location].
abstract: A right and a left A. ulnaris superficialis were found, which had a high origin. This variety has to be seen from the view of the A. brachialis superficialis inferior which continues into the A. ulnaris superficialis, however, the A. brachialis superficialis inferior did not cross over the N. medianus as usual. This atypical behaviour can be explained by a proximal development of the A. ulnaris superficialis (up to 5 cm proximal of the Hueter's line) in absence of continuation of the A. brachialis superficialis inferior into the A. radialis.
