PURPOSE: The aim of the presented case is to describe an unprecedented innervation of the coracobrachialis longus muscle by the radial nerve. METHODS: An 82-year-old body donor at death was subjected to a routine anatomical dissection for teaching and research purposes at the Department of Anatomical Dissection and Donation in Lodz, Poland. RESULTS: We have found an additional branch of the radial nerve, which departed from it just below its beginning. Its initial section ran alongside the radial nerve in the axilla, then headed medially accompanying superior ulnar collateral artery. Then, it reaches the coracobrachialis longus muscle and is the only one to innervate it. CONCLUSIONS: The brachial plexus (BP) is very variable and well understood. Nevertheless, we must remember that there may still be variations in its structure, which may involve problems at every stage of diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with its structures. Their knowledge is extremely important.
