Anastomosis entre el nervio cubital y el nervio mediano: reporte de caso
Abstract
The literature describes the path of the median nerve which descends from its origin in the brachial plexus and is placed on the medial brachial edge. In the elbow, it is positioned in front of the epitroclea and then repositioned on the central axis of the forearm. During this path, it is common to find the absence of communicative branches between the median nerve and the ulnar nerve. The present work describes the finding of a nerve communicative branch between the median and ulnar nerve which gives rise to the collection of information on the relationship between the nerves and their nerve anastomoses. This finding was made during the 2015 summer dissection work at the human anatomy amphitheater of the National University of San Marcos (Peru). This anastomosis is reported academically using the available information highlighting its importance in the surgical-clinical field.
