title: Unilateral variations in upper limb arterial system: a case report with literature review.
abstract: In a female cadaver unilateral variations were found in upper limb arterial system - as (1) high-up origin of ulnar artery at arm, (2) persistent prominent arteria nervii mediana or median artery, (3) common interosseous artery branching out of brachial artery. Literature review revealed these coexistent anomalies as the consequence of aberrant finalization of the path chosen by axis arterial network in embryonic life.
