A rare variation between the median nerve and musculocutaneous nerve: A cadaver study

N. medianus ve n. musculocutaneus üst ekstremitenin büyük ve önemli sinirlerindendir. Her iki sinir farklı kas gruplarını inerve ederler ve genellikle birbirlerinden sinir lifi almazlar. Bu vaka takdiminde, iki sinir arasındaki bağlayıcı bir dal ve bu tür varyasyonların cerrahi işlemlerdeki önemi gösterilmektedir.

N. Medianus ve N. musculocutaneus arasındaki nadir bir varyasyon: Bir kadavra çalışması

: The median and the musculocutaneous nerves are among the largest and most important nerves of the upper extremity. Both nerves innervate different muscle groups and they generally do not receive nerve fibers from each other. In this case report, we present a communicating branch between these two nerves and the use of these kinds of variations in surgical procedures.
