Basilic hiatus


Basilic hiatus (Hiatus basilicus) is an opening in the fascia brachii through which the basilic vein passes from the surface to the depth. Nervus cutaneus antebrachii medialis, on the other hand, emerges from depth. There may be small superficial lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici cubitales) around the hiatus basilicus.
