This study concerns a variant of the brachial artery with a modified origin and course. The artery was studied in 418 upper limbs removed from cadavers. In one upper limb the left brachial artery bifurcated into: (1) a superficial brachial a. (the variant) crossing superficially to the bicipital aponeurosis in the cubital region and assuming the course, position, and supply area of the radial artery, and (2) the deep brachial a. (another variant). An embryologic interpretation of this anomaly is based on a variant vascular development derived from the eighth intersegmental artery. The variant is termed according to Adachi's classification schedule as arteria brachialis superficialis lateralis inferior Type VII with the addition EAB (epiaponeurosis bicipitalis, i.e., superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis). Accurate information concerning unusual patterns of the arteries in the upper limbs is clinically relevant, especially in the avoidance of accidental intra-arterial injection with reflectory vascular occlusion leading to necrosis.
