Case Description: An atypical presentation of median nerve anatomy proximal to the carpal tunnel was found during cadaveric dissection. The median nerve was located deep to a uniquely double-headed flexor carpi radialis and curved medially around the tendons of the forearm to enter the carpal tunnel superficially. Conclusion: The atypical presentation of median nerve anatomy can assist surgeons in adverse event reduction during surgeries such as carpal tunnel and pronator teres syndrome releases.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/82ce114c-6010-47d5-9616-ecb31a7ae5f0/featured/hero-cropped-1781559889315.jpg","publishDate":"2023-12-01T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_822_2023","categories":["Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/12654/SNI-14-411.pdf"}
