Description
Summary:Historical sources can serve as an important point of reference for anatomical research. In this report, we present an atypical origin of the brachioradial artery from the distal fourth of the arm. The radial recurrent artery originated from the ulno-interosseous trunk and crossed the brachioradial artery posteriorly at the level of the neck of the radius. This case reported herein was observed during a review of the historical specimens collection prepared in the 19th century by the prominent Polish anatomist Ludwik Karol Teichmann and his collaborators and exhibited in the Anatomy Museum of Jagiellonian University Medical College. The goal of this study was to provide data on the course and branching pattern of a rare variant of the brachioradial artery.
