Radial artrey is one of the two terminal branches of brachial artery. It descends along the lateral side of the foream to the wrist where it curls posterolaterally round the carpus, deep to the snuff box, to reach the proximal end of the first intermetcarpal space where it dips in the palm and crosses medially to form the deep palmar arch with the deep branch of the ulnar artery. In the process of the dissection in this department , a very rare case of the complex variations was observed in the route and branches of radial artery in the right hand of a male cadaver: a) Crossing of the radial artery on the superficial part of the snuff box b) Bifurcating of it before dipping into the palm c) Arising of the princips pollicis and radilais indicis from superficial palmar arch.

Keywords: Radial artery, Complex variations, Snuff box, Princips pollicis artery, Radialis indicis artery
