Abstract
The congenital anomalies of the arteries of the upper extremity seem to be caused by an inhibited development of the vessels in different stages of the embryonic growth (Singer, 1933). To understand the primitive conditions persisting in the arteries of the upper extremity a complete knowledge of the embryological development of the entire vascular system is required. As the scope of this subject is very large and many factors in the different stages of its embryological development are not yet completely understood, this chapter is restricted only to a short description of the embryology of the arteries of the arm.
