The triangular space (also known as the medial triangular space,upper triangular space, or medial axillary space or foramen omotricipitale) is an axillary space.
It should not be confused with the triangular interval.
It has the following boundaries:
For the superior border, some sources list the teres minor, while others list the subscapularis.
It contains the scapular circumflex vessels.
Unlike the quadrangular space or the triangular interval, no major nerve passes through the triangular space.
