Resumo

As manifestações clínicas da síndrome do desfiladeiro torácico são predominantemente neurológicas, sendo as complicações arteriais raras, mas potencialmente graves. Entre elas, devemos citar os aneurismas com complicações embólicas e a trombose. Os autores relatam o caso de uma mulher de 37 anos com costela cervical bilateral que apresentou embolia no membro superior direito originada de um aneurisma pós-estenótico da artéria subclávia direita, além de apresentar ectasia da subclávia esquerda também por compressão.

Abstract

The clinical manifestations of thoracic outlet syndrome are mainly neurological. Although arterial complications are rare, they are potentially severe. Among these are aneurysms associated with embolism and thrombosis. The authors report a case of a 37 year-old woman with bilateral cervical rib that developed embolism in the right upper limb from a poststenotic right subclavian artery aneurysm and dilatation of the left subclavian artery, both due to compression.
