Background: Introduction: Variations in the morphological anatomy of the median nerve in formation, course, distribution and communications have been verified. Anatomical variations of median nerve are clinically important, when practicing surgical approach for treatment of injuries affecting median nerve. Material and methods: While dissecting among cadavers, observed variations in the formation of median nerve by three roots with the absence of musculocutaneous nerve supplying the muscles of front of arm by giving a branch after formation of trunk & a communicating branch between median nerve and musculocutaneous nerve. Conclusion: Empathy – Focused in these variations is crucial because they may affect the function of the upper limb. For clinicians, it is important to remember these variations during surgical procedures in this area and during brachial plexus block.
