A CASE REPORT ON THE VARIATIONS IN THE BRANCHING PATTERN OF AXILLARY ARTERY WITH CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Amit Raj Sharma*
ABSTRACT
The axillary artery is the main artery of the upper limb. It is the continuation of the subclavian artery and will continue as the brachial artery. In the axillary fossa, it is in relation to the axillary vein and brachial plexus. The pectoralis minor muscle divides the axillary artery into three parts and these parts have different branches, but there are some variations in the branching pattern. The knowledge regarding variations in these branching patterns is of great clinical importance for clinicians. In this case study we will explain the variation found during routine dissection.
