Brachial plexus posterior cord variability: a case report and review

Edward O, Arachchi A, Christop

Abstract

The formation and distribution of the brachial plexus is a source of great anatomical variability. This case report details the anatomical variants discovered in the posterior cord of the brachial plexus in a routine cadaveric dissection at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Similar findings in the literature are reviewed and the clinical significance of these findings is discussed.
