Abstract
Inter-communications between peripheral nerves deserve special attention in view of their clinical
significance. Variations of the median and musculocutaneous nerve at the level of brachial plexus are common. The
present report pertains to a case displaying one site of communications between median and musculocutaneous nerves
and another site of communication between lateral and median cords. The communication at the cord level was given
before the cord gives any branch. Such type of communication is very rare. It is important to be aware of this variation
while planning a surgery in the region of the axilla or arm, as these nerves are more liable to be injured during operations.
