The thoracic outlet syndrome as a cause of aneurysm formation, thrombosis, and embolization.

The thoracic outlet syndrome may have a serious vascular component consisting of subclavian artery aneurysm with possible thrombosis and embolization which can result in severe ischemic symptoms in the upper extremity, gangrene, amputation, and even hemiplegia. Four cases of subclavian artery aneurysm in association with thoracic outlet syndrome are presented. Two of the patients required surgical intervention because of thrombosis and embolization, while the other two had prophylactic surgical procedure to prevent those complications.

Osteopathia striata revisited.

Two cases of osteopathia striata are presented, including an unusual case of unilateral involvement with a normal bone scan. The association with focal dermal hypoplasia is discussed. Prominent normal bony trabeculations should not be mistaken for osteopathia striata.

Spontaneous thrombosis of a giant cerebral aneurysm in five days. Report of a case.

This single case report describes a large (giant) left internal carotid aneurysm that showed a very marked decrease in the size of its lumen on reevaluation 5 days after the initial arteriogram. A review of the literature found only 5 cases of spontaneous thrombosis documented by arteriography and only one involved a giant aneurysm. Follow-up arteriography however, may show this rare occurrence and eliminate unwarranted surgery.

Arteriomegaly.

Arteriomegaly describes tortuous, ectatic, irregular vessels with prolonged blood flow. Seven cases of this entity are outlined with representative case reports. The increased incidence of aneurysms, thrombosis and embolization is noted in this and other series. The possibility that tortuous vessels may be confused with aneurysms on examination is also discussed. Due to the prolongation of blood flow, adequate arteriographic evaluation may be quite difficult.
