Then it descends between the biceps and the brachialis muscle, sending branches to both the muscle and continues as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. In our cases we found that the musculocutaneous nerve did not pierce the coracobrachialis muscle and in the middle 1/3rd of arm, it communicates with median nerve. Knowledge about these variations helps surgeons during operation of brachial plexus lesions, arthoscopy of shoulder joints and repair of fracture humerus.&#13;
