Resumen
TORRES-ZAFRA, Javier et al. Recurrent Stroke Secondary to Arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Caused by First and Second Ribs Synostosis: Case Report. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.3, pp.216-221. ISSN 0120-8748.
Stroke is a rare complication of arterial thoracic outlet syndrome. We present a 24-year old man with right arm ischemia and recurrent vertebrobasilar stroke caused by synostosis of the first and second thoracic ribs. The patien was treated with supraclavicular resection of both first ribs and bilateral scalenectomy, aneurysmal resection and primary anastomosis of the right subclavian artery. We analize this case and review the pertinent literature on stroke and arterial thoracic outlet syndrome.
