Background: The most common communication found in Brachial plexus is the
communication between the Median nerve and the Musculocutaneous nerve. It is important
anatomical variation which should be found early. If left unnoticed it cause serious implications
during the surgery procedures. Aim: The aim of the study is to find out the incidence of
communication between Median nerve and Musculocutaneous nerve.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 48 upper limbs of 24 adult human
cadavers in the Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Omandurar
Government estate, Chennai. The study was done over a period of 2 years during educational
dissections. The communications between the Musculocutaneous nerves and the median nerves
and their variations were observed. The Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional
