Biceps Brachii Compartment Contrast Media Extravasation with Surgical Correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case in which 120 ml of contrast media was extravasated into the biceps brachii compartment with a power injector during the course of an attempted CT angiogram. The patient underwent surgical fasciotomy and drainage. The radiographic appearance and clinical implications of this event are discussed.

Distal biceps brachii tendon rupture resulting in acute compartment syndrome.
Distal biceps brachii tendon rupture is an uncommon injury. Compartment syndrome of the upper arm is rarely described in the literature. The diagnosis of upper arm compartment syndrome requires a high index of suspicion, and emergent surgical treatment with fasciotomy in the acute setting is necessary to avoid devastating neurovascular complications. This article reports a case of acute compart...

At the arm the thin and elastic fascia may allow accumulation of blood more than in other districts, especially in patients undergoing anticoagulant therapy.

متن کاملAn aberrant tendo-aponeurotic extension of biceps brachii muscle: a possible factor for neurovascular compression in the antebrachium
Introduction Biceps brachii is described as a superficial muscle in the anterior compartment of the arm. It is a flexor of the elbow joint and a powerful supinator of the forearm. Standard anatomical textbooks describe the muscle as arising by two heads, a long and a short head arising from the supraglenoid tubercle and coracoid process of scapula, respectively. The two heads form a common bell...
