Abstract: | Ischemia occurring during hyperextension of the upper limb in a 25-year-old woman led to the discovery of a supracondylar
spur responsible for compression of the brachial artery with anomalous insertion of the pronator teres muscle. Researction
of all abnormal structures provided immediate relief of symptoms. When atypical arterial symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome
occur in the upper limb, the brachial artery entrapment syndrome should be considered. |
