Abstract

  • Variations of the nerves of the forearm can lead to unexpected clinical findings during physical examination. Additionally, surgery in this region might encounter and potentially damage the nerve in such patients. Here, we present a case of a high split of the median nerve and discuss the findings of the case as well as review salient reports in the literature. Knowledge of such a variation can be important in patient diagnosis and treatment. (Folia Morphol 2023; 82, 1: 190-193)
