The lateral root of median nerve is a source of the median nerve, originating off the lateral cord of the brachial plexus.[1] It is typically one of two nerve roots forming the median nerve, the other being the medial root,[1] although anatomical variations in which the median nerve instead has three or four nerve roots have been described in medical literature.[2][3]
