Atypical course of the median nerve.
Work in the form of anatomical casuistry is presenting and describing the atypical course of the median nerve found in both upper limbs of one of the cadavers in the Department of Anatomy of Medical Faculty of Comenius University in Bratislava. This atypical course was found during the students' dissection of the peripheral nerves and vessels. This non-standard course of the median nerve is compared with standard course described in anatomical literature and atlases, and confronted with the possible variations of the median nerve and its course described by the available literature. (Fig. 4, Ref. 4.)
