10.30699/jambs.27.125.57 The prominence of the hand function is underlined fundamentally by its rich vascular system. The superficial palmar arch incredibly provides hand with the blood supply, which is normally formed by the ulnar artery and superficial palmar branch of the radial artery. In the current case, the unilateral absence of superficial palmar arch with the rare presence of the median artery was reported, which was noticed in the right hand of a male cadaver during a routine educational dissection. The awareness of particular variations in hand blood supply during hand operations leads in preventing surgical mistakes.
