Median nerve structure is of boundless attention to clinicians and scientists given the importance of this nerve and its association with diseases. A rare anatomical variant of the median nerve within the distal forearm and wrist was discovered during a cadaveric dissection. The median nerve was deep to the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) within the carpal tunnel. It underwent a 360-degree spin before emerging at the lateral fringe of FDS. The recurrent motor branch moved from medial to lateral on the deep surface of the median nerve, because it approached the distal carpal tunnel. This variant doesn't fall under any of Lanz's four groups of median nerve anomalies. We propose a fifth group that involves variations within the course of the median nerve. This report underscores the importance of recognizing variants of the median nerve anatomy within the forearm and wrist during surgical interventions, like for carpal tunnel syndrome.
