All of the findings in the present study

Anomaly Number of cases Number of plexuses
C4 spinal root contributed to origin of the brachial plexus (pre-fix) 3 6
T2 spinal root contributed to origin of the brachial plexus (post-fix) 1 2
The long thoracic nerve pierced the middle scalene muscle 6 12
Suprascapular nerve encompassed the nerve formation from posterior division of the superior trunk 4 7
A anastomosis between the medial brachial cutaneous nerve and T1 spinal root 5 10
The inferior trunk gave origin to the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve 17 33
The subscapular nerve was directly formed by C5 spinal root 3 6
The medial pectoral nerve sprouted from anterior division of medial trunk 1 2
Thoracodorsal nerve originated from the axillary nerve 1 2
The ulnar nerve received a communicating branch from lateral cord 3 6
The median nerve was formed by two lateral roots from lateral cord and one medial root from the medial cord 6 12
the musculocutaneous nerve gave communicating branch to median nerve or median nerve took one branch from the posterior cord of the plexus 5 10
C7 root enters to musculocutaneous nerve 8 14
C7-T1 roots were directly projected to make radial nerve 1 2
The axillary nerve originated from the posterior divisions of middle trunks 4 8
The axillary nerve originated from the posterior divisions of superior trunks 1 1
