Crutch-induced bilateral brachial artery aneurysms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 57-year-old man, who was a chronic axillary crutch user as a result of childhood poliomyelitis, was referred to our hospital because of a sudden onset of right forearm ischemia. The right forearm had no pulse, and three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) showed an aneurysm of the right brachial artery associated with arterial occlusion. The thrombosed aneurysm of the brachial artery was resected and the brachial artery was successfully revascularized by interposing a saphenous vein graft. Postoperative 3DCT revealed an asymptomatic left brachial artery aneurysm. His postoperative course was uneventful under warfarin anticoagulation therapy.

Bilateral Radial Nerve Compression (crutch palsy): A Case Report
The radial nerve is also known as the “great extensor nerve” due to its innervation of the triceps, wrist and finger extensors. It originates from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and its course along the proximal humerus makes it particularly vulnerable to injury by compression at the proximal arm. In the primary care setting, radial neuropathy is the third most common compressive ne...

متن کاملAneurysm of Brachial Artery Following Axillary Crutch
Dear Editor, True aneurysm of brachial artery, just distal to axillary artery, is relatively rare. Moreover, this type of aneurysm following usage of axillary crutch has not reported in the literature. Furthermore, this entity presenting as Reynaud’s disease has not been described; though microemboli following subclavio-axillary artery aneurysm (arterial thoracic outlet syndrome) is well-define...
متن کاملA case of true brachial artery aneurysm in an elderly male.
Brachial artery aneurysms are relatively rare and are mostly pseudoaneurysms rather than true aneurysms, as true aneurysms are even rarer entities. Patients can be asymptomatic, or present with pulsatile masses, or ischemia due to associated thromboembolic complications. Distal embolism can occur with transient or minimal ischemic symptoms; however, aneurysm itself can thrombose entirely. The a...
