Abstract (2. Language): 
The superficial palmer arch is formed by superficial division of ulnar artery and completed on radial side by either of the superficial palmar branch of radial artery, arteriaprincepspollicis, arteriaradialisindicis or arterianervimediana. It may be incomplete at times. It lies beneath the palmar aponeurosis and in front of long flexor tendons, lumbricals and palmar digital branches of median nerve.Awareness of the superficial palmer arch variation in the hands is essential for surgeons, radiologists and anatomists because of innovative microsurgical techniques in reconstruction of a traumatized hand, arterial repairs and may be useful for vascular graft surgeries.Variations in the superficial palmer arch have been studied by several authors. We intended to study superficial palmer arch in twenty pairs of hands in a course of two years and report the variations. We dissected forty palms of twenty cadavers over 2 years during routine dissection for undergraduate teaching in a medical college of Kolkata, India.Bilateral variations of superficial palmer arch were observed in three pairs of palms. Of them, one pair was complete arch, other two incomplete, though they again differed in distribution. With high rate of road traffic accidents in today’s world, and increasing needs of surgical reconstruction procedures of hand and vascular graft application, it has become essential to acquire knowledge of anatomical variation of superficial palmer arch. Such knowledge is also essential to have proper interpretation and performance of the diagnostic angiography and therapeutic surgery in case of ischemic changes in fingers.
