Abstract

A study of the patterns of distribution of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm was done on 100 Nigerian cadavers comprising of 80 males and 20 females. Two additional branches: descending and recurrent branches were seen in 50(62%), 11(55%) and 42(53%), 9(45%) respectively in 80 males and 20 females. Knowledge of such branches is useful in anaesthesia and human anatomy.
