Abstract :Accurate information about the arterial anatomy of the upper extremities and their common variations is essential for limb surgeons. Persistent median artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PMA); was examined in 6 cadavers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 upper limbs);. We encountered one case of bilateral the absence of superficial palmar arch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPA);, a bifid median nerve insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MN); and the presence of the PMA originating from the ulnar artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(UA); during dissection. The incidence of the PMA in this study was 17%. It was determined that PMA and UA supplied the palm on both extremities of the cadaver without forming an arch. This specimen showed a radio-mediano-ulnar type of incomplete SPA. The UA was the dominant vessel of the palm in almost all cadavers compared to the other vessels. Awareness of variations in the vascular pattern of the palm will be of considerable help for clinical, plastic surgeons in their reconstructive surgery because such an artery may result in complications such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
