Abstract
BACKGROUND: Belgian anatomist Andreas Vesalius, in his groundbreaking medical atlas De Humani Corporis Fabrica, 1543, committed to paper two anatomical errors relating to the vascular and nervous system of the hand. In the diagrams, he depicts a highly irregular symmetrical sensory innervation of the median and ulnar nerves. He also fails to mention or illustrate the deep or superficial palmar arches.Entities:
