Much has been written about these variants such as the anatomic course of crossover fibers and the electrodiagnostic findings. However, little has been written on associated physical findings that might suggest such a diagnosis. In this report the physical examination findings clearly supported a diagnosis of a Type III Martin Gruber anastomosis that was initially established through electrodiagnostic testing. Awareness of this pattern on physical examination could provide an early clue to the possible presence of anomalous innervation.
