ABSTRACT

Brachial artery is a major artery of upper limb and is the branch of 3rd part of axillary artery. In the present case study we found a variation in the bifurcation of the brachial artery of right arm ,with brachial artery dividing 7 Cm above the epicondyl, a deviation from normal course. Out of two branches radial and ulnar, the radial artery had smaller caliber than ulnar artery. Knowledge regarding  the anatomical variations of arteries is of utmost importance for orthopedic surgeons ,radiologist and cardiovascular surgeons during various surgical procedures and procedures like angiography.

Key Words: Brachial artery, bifurcation, variation, radial artery.
