High origin of the radial artery accompanied by muscular and neural anomalies.
A high origin of the radial artery accompanied by muscular and neural abnormalities (three-headed biceps brachii, absence of the palmaris longus muscle, and communication between median and musculocutaneous nerves) were encountered during the dissection of a 25-year-old male cadaver. Co-existence of these variations has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the available literature.
