Abstract
Superficial ulnar artery, a rare variation may arise from axillary or brachial artery. Here we report a case of high origin of superficial ulnar artery from the axillary artery. Superficial ulnar artery, after running under the bicipital aponeurosis in the cubital fossa, it terminated as superficial palmar arch in the hand. We also discuss its clinical and embryological relevance.
