A rare case of bilateral variations of upper limb arteries: brief review of nomenclature, embryology and clinical applications.
We present a rare case of bilateral variations of upper limb arteries, namely, the superficial brachioulnoradial artery and the superficial brachioradial artery in a female cadaver. The superficial brachioulnoradial artery presented here is a variant of classical accounts. The superficial arteries replaced the typical arteries and were not additional vessels.
