ABSTRACT:

During routine cadaveric dissection while teaching undergraduate medical students, the median nerve on the left upper limb of a 60 year old female cadaver showed presence of an accessory lateral root arising from lateral cord of brachial plexus.It also pierced brachialis muscle in the arm before reaching cubital fossa. Knowledge of these variations is helpful in evaluating nerve injury and preventing complications during anaesthetic and surgical procedures in the axilla.

Key words: Median nerve, variant, accessory root, Brachialis.
