Multiple variations of the deep artery of arm: double deep artery of arm and deep artery of arm with the superior ulnar collateral artery. A case report.
Multiple variations of the deep artery of arm were observed during routine gross anatomic dissection of the right upper extremity of a 54-year-old male cadaver. In this case study, a double deep artery of arm and the deep artery of arm with the superior ulnar collateral artery were reported. The anatomic origin of the deep artery of arm is variable. In the literature, a double deep brachialis since its origin is reported in 0.7% and the deep brachial with the superior ulnar collateral artery in 22.3%. Such variations are considered to be occurring during embryologic development. These type of variations are important both in surgical and clinical situations.
