Critical Upper Limb Ischemia Due to Brachial Tourniquet in Misdiagnosed Thoracic Outlet Syndrome after Carpal Tunnel Decompression: A Case Report
We present the case of a 68-year-old woman, referred to our department for critical upper limb ischemia, which had occurred a few days after homolateral surgical ligamentotomy for carpal tunnel syndrome, diagnosed and confirmed by electromyography, and performed with a brachial tourniquet. The patient was later admitted for subsequent progressive necrosis of the first three fingers of the left ...
متن کاملResults of Sympathectomy in the Upper Limb
THE sympathetic nerves have two main functions in the extremities. These are the control of the sweat glands and the regulation of blood-vessel calibre. Sympathetic nerve fibres reach the hand by passing down through the arm and forearm in the main somatic nerve trunks. At intervals along the course of these nerve trunks fibres are given off to supply the sweat glands of the region and the neig...
متن کاملCritical upper limb ischemia caused by initially undiagnosed thoracic outlet syndrome--case report.
A case of a progressive ischemia of the right upper extremity in a 57-year-old male caused by primarily undiagnosed compression of a subclavian artery by an accessory cervical rib is presented. Critical limb ischemia persisting for 7 years despite conservative treatment and a thrombectomy of upper extremity arteries and thoracic sympathectomy, led to a loss of three fingers and development of a...
متن کاملUpper Limb Ischemia: Clinical Experiences of Acute and Chronic Upper Limb Ischemia in a Single Center
BACKGROUND Upper limb ischemia is less common than lower limb ischemia, and relatively few cases have been reported. This paper reviews the epidemiology, etiology, and clinical characteristics of upper limb ischemia and analyzes the factors affecting functional sequelae after treatment. METHODS The records of 35 patients with acute and chronic upper limb ischemia who underwent treatment from ...
