The aim is to document a rare high bifurcation of the brachial artery encountered during cadaveric dissection and its clinical implications.
Cadaveric dissection of an adult female to observe brachial artery branching patterns.
Measurement of bifurcation location in relation to anatomical landmarks using the ruler method.
High bifurcation observed at 4.5 cm distal to the teres major insertion, compared to the normal cubital fossa level.
Median nerve positioned between the bifurcated branches, with radial artery lateral and ulnar artery medial.
Left upper limb analysis showed a normal brachial artery bifurcation at the cubital fossa.
