    Bilateral multiple variations in the formation of the brachial plexus and its terminal nerves: a case report
    (IMED Research Publications, 2013) Mchonde, Gabriel J.; Fabian, Flora M.; Nondoli, Hortensia G.
    Variations in formation of brachial plexus roots, trunks, divisions and cords are not uncommon and maybe of important in regional anaesthesia involving the upper limb. However, in the present case we are reporting a rare bilateral multiple variations observed during routine dissection on a 77-years-old embalmed male cadaver on left and right brachial plexus. Understanding the anatomical variations involving brachial plexus is important and might benefit the physicians, surgeons, anaesthesiologists and neuroanatomists during their routine procedures involving the cervical, axillary and the upper limb regions.

    Looped left testicular artery in relation to a variant left renal vein: a case report
    (Pulsus, 2014) Mchonde, Gabriel J.; Mwashambwa, Masumbuko Y.; Fabian, Flora M.; Gesase, Ainory P.
    Variations involving the renal and testicular vessels are not uncommon. During a routine dissection of a 48-year-old male cadaver, one main and one accessory hilar renal vein were observed in the left kidney. The accessory hilar renal vein received the left testicular vein before it entered the main left renal vein. We also discovered for the first time the entrapment of the arched left testicular artery between the main renal vein and accessory hilar renal veins. The knowledge of these anatomical variations is important to radiologists in interpreting renal and testicular angiograms and to surgeons performing interventional procedures on a patient with these variations.
