Abstract
Vascular anomalies of the forearm can impact the planning and elevation of fasciocuteanous flaps from this region. This report describes the elevation of a free forearm flap based on an anomalous persistent median artery for a case of oropharyngeal reconstruction. The incidence, embryology and significance of vascular anomalies with respect to the forearm flap are reviewed.
