Issue Date: | 4-Oct-2013 | Publication information: | Journal of Clinical Neuroscience 2013; 21(5): 886-889 | Abstract: | Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs due to compression of the neurovascular structures as they exit the thorax. Subclavian arterial compression is usually due to a cervical rib, and is rarely associated with thromboembolic stroke. The mechanism of cerebral embolisation associated with the thoracic outlet syndrome is poorly understood, but may be due to retrograde propagation of thrombus or transient retrograde flow within the subclavian artery exacerbated by arm abduction. We report an illustrative patient and review the clinical features, imaging findings and management of stroke associated with thoracic outlet syndrome. | Gov't Doc #: | 24321459 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11982 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jocn.2013.07.030 | Journal: | Journal of Clinical Neuroscience | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24321459 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Cervical rib Ischaemic stroke Thoracic outlet syndrome Adolescent Female Humans Stroke.complications.diagnosis Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.complications.diagnosis Thromboembolism.complications.diagnosis |
