Bilateral incomplete superficial palmar arch

Lakshmiprabha R

Abstract

A rare variation of bilateral incomplete palmar arch was observed during routine dissection of a cadaver. Ulnar arteries gave rise to two common palmar digital arteries supplying the ring and little fingers and one proper palmar digital artery, which supplied ulnar side of little finger. Radial artery gave rise to two common palmar digital arteries that supplied the remaining fingers. Right side also had a palmar carpal branch from deep palmar arch.
