Variations in the anatomy of brachial plexus are common. So is the median nerve anatomy. Knowledge of the variations contributes to the surgeons planning and curative intent during surgical repair of the Median nerve deficiencies. During routine brachial plexus dissections of cadavers for undergraduate students a variation of formation and innervations by the median nerve was identified at our department of anatomy, Rangaraya medical college, kakinada. A total of forty two brachial plexuses were explored and a variation in a male body on the left side was noted.
