Abstract
The brachial plexus is formed by the ventral primary rami of the lower four cervical and upper thoracic nerve roots, with variable contribution from C4 (prefix) & T2 (postfix). Anatomical variations are from the roots to the cord level. A better understanding of such variations is crucial for achieving successful results in regional anaesthesia.
