To describe the pattern and
prevalence of variations that occur in the
supraclavicular part of the brachial plexus in a
Kenyan population The presence of four trunks
and an accessory phrenic nerve passing through
the subclavian vein are probably described and
reported for the first time. However, most of the
variations of the BP among Kenyans are similar
to those reported in the other populations
