Connections between the musculocutaneous and median nerve are not uncommon. But knowledge of such variations is important for surgeons to perform surgical procedures. Here a female cadaver of 34 years age was found during dissection classes of undergraduate MBBS students, with communicating branch connecting musculocutaneous nerve with median nerve bilaterally.
