摘要

A retrospective review from our previous anatomical dissections looking for anatomical variations of the brachial plexus is made. All those dissections were made for teaching purposes at the Laboratory of Anatomy from Walter Sisulu University between January 2000 and January 2008 and the commonest findings are reported in this study. Its correlations with expected clinical manifestations in nerves injury are established. Introduction The brachial plexus is usually formed by the fusion of the anterior primary rami of the C5-8 and the T1 spinal nerves. It supplies the muscles of the back and the upper limb. The C5 and C6 fuse to form the upper trunk, the C7 continues as the middle trunk and the C8 and T1 join to form the lower trunk. Each trunk, soon after its formation, divides into anterior and posterior divisions. The anterior divisions of the upper and middle trunks form the lateral cord; the anterior division of the lower trunk continues as the medial cord and the posterior divisions of all three forms the posterior cord. The cords then give rise to various branches that form the peripheral nerves of the upper limb. The anterior divisions supply the flexor compartments of upper limb and the posterior divisions, the extensor compartments. Since the brachial plexus is a complex structure, variations in formation of roots, trunks, divisions and cords are common. The present study deals with some of the common variations and some hitherto unknown variations of the brachial plexus. [1]Axillary artery passes between the lateral and medial cords of the plexus. The medial root of median nerve crosses the axillary artery to unite with the lateral root to form the median nerve which is lateral and anterior to the axillary artery. [1]Lesions on brachial plexus is a challenger for general practitioner and in some cases even for experienced neurologist, orthopedist surgeons and neurosurgeons because anatomical variations of the brachial plexus can cause a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, therefore to consider those anatomical variations for clinical reasoning is recommended. However, because is not possible to memorize each clinical picture for every anatomical change we decide to show the commonest anatomical presentation of brachial plexus and to propose its clinical manifestations in nerve injuries based on those findings. Material And Method The study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Walter Sisulu University, and Mthatha, South Africa. On routine dissection on embalmed African cadavers, variations in the formation of the brachial plexus were found. The clavicle and the scalenus anterior were cut to expose the roots and trunks of the plexus. The divisions and their branches were followed to the muscle they supplied for confirmation. Results And Comments Brachial Plexus innervates the upper limb. As it is the point of formation of many nerves, variations are common. Knowledge of these is important to anatomists, radiologists, anesthesiologists and surgeons. The presence of anatomical variations of the peripheral nervous system is often used to explain unexpected clinical signs and symptoms.In some cases the brachial plexus were formed from roots C5, C6, C7, C8 and T1 (Figure 1) and the upper trunk was formed by the union of C5 and C6. Before joining the C6, the C5 gave a direct branch to the Subclavius Muscle and the Dorsal Scapular Nerve. Similarly the C6 gave two small direct branches to Pectoralis Minor and a large branch to the Latissimus Dorsi Muscle (Thoracodorsal Nerve).As is well known, the brachial plexus is a somatic nerve plexus formed by intercommunications among the ventral rami of the lower four cervical nerves (C 5 - C 8) and most of the anterior ramus of the first thoracic nerve (T 1). The plexus is responsible for the motor innervations to all of the muscles of the upper limb with the exception of the trapezius and levator scapula. It supplies all of the cutaneous innervatio
