Entrapment of Brachial Artery and Median Nerve within the Brachialis Muscle – A Case Report

Brachial artery and median nerve is the main neurovascular bundle of the arm. They have close relationship throughout the arm. Their entrapment may result in neurovascular symptoms in the distal part of the upper limb. We report a rare entrapment of these structures in the arm within the brachialis...
