Abstract

Arterial variations in the upper extremity occur in a high prevalence. Basically, the radial artery is a terminal branch of the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. This artery is used in some treatment interventions and it’s variation is important for clinicians. Here we report a cadaver with a rare pattern of two radial arteries. In this cadaver, a hypoplastic proper radial artery in the cubital fossa as a terminal branch of the brachial artery and a high origin accessory radial artery in the arm separated from the brachial artery were detected. © 2018, Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research.
