Two arterial variations in a single upper limb, a brachioradial artery and a superficial median artery were found during the routine dissection of the right upper limb of a 65 years old white male cadaver. The variant upper limb was dissected carefully and the preparation steps were documented. Although brachioradial artery and superficial median artery have been reported in the literature, but superficial median artery arises from the brachioradial artery is extremely rare. ER -
