Summary

A new case with combined intercalary radial ray defect, high origin of the radial and ulnar arteries, and anomalies of the thoracic vertebrae is presented. The diagnosis was based on roentgenography, arteriography, and electroneuromyography. The case was regarded as a thoracic outlet syndrome due to the first rib abnormality and was treated surgically.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Artikel wird ein neuer Fall geschildert, bei dem es sich um interkalarische radiale Linienbeschädigung und thorakale Vertebra-Anomalien handelt, außerdem zweigen die radialen und ulnaren Arterien von der brachialen Arterie an noch höherer Stelle ab, als es normalerweise der Fall ist. Die Diagnose wurde durch direkte Röntgenographie, Arteriographie und Elektroneuromyographie festgestellt. Das Krankheitsbild wurde als eine mit erstem Vertebra-Anomalie zusammenhängendenthorakalischen “outlet syndrome” angenommen und eine chirurgische Therapie durchgeführt.
