[Constitutional anomalies of the terminal branches of the brachial plexus in the axial and brachial regions. Results of 42 cases and review of the literature].
The authors report anatomical variations of the terminal brachial plexus branches in 42 cadaveric dissections. The results are compared with results reported in literature which revealed a new variation: ulnar nerve originating in posterior beam. This study demonstrates that there exist not one but several brachial plexes which could have potential clinical implications.
