Current study was aimed to report variations in the formation of the median nerve with relation to the brachial artery. And also, the variation in the branching pattern of Musculo Cutaneous Nerve (MCN). Careful observation was made to note the formation and branching pattern of Median (MN) and Musculo Cutaneous Nerve (MCN) with the relation of axillary and brachial artery of formalin embalmed cadaver. In the present study, we noted the MN thus formed by 2 roots; lying behind the brachial artery.
