The profunda brachii artery - 1 was originated from the posteromedial aspect of the brachial artery, distal to teres major muscle. The profunda brachii artery __ampersandsignndash; 2 was originated from the posterior circumflex humeral artery in quadrangular space around the surgical neck of the humerus. The profunda brachii artery - 2 divided into the anterior descending (Radial collateral) __ampersandsignamp; the posterior desending (middle collateral) arteries. The profunda brachii artery __ampersandsignndash; 1 gives nutrient artery to the humerus and runs with posterior desending (middle collateral) artery and ends by anastomosing with interosseous recurrent artery behind the lateral epicondyle. The photographs of the variations were taken for proper documentation. The presence of double profunda brachii arteries in the radial groove may result in excessive haemorrhage during fractures. Topographical anatomy of the normal and abnormal variations of the brachial artery is clinically important for surgeons, orthopaedicians and radiologists performing angiographic studies on the upper limb.&#13;
