Abstract

Medial brachial fascial compartment syndrome is known to be a potential complication of percutaneous procedures via the axillary artery. We report a case of brachial plexus injury (medial brachial fascial compartment syndrome) after axillary arteriography during an endovascular procedure in a 25 years old male patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He had complaints of weakness, numbness and severe pain in the left arm 11 hours after angiography. Physical examination of the patient revealed no visible hematoma or ecchymosis, and all the pulses of left upper extremity (i.e. brachial, radial, and ulnar) were palpable. Color Doppler ultrasonography of the left axillary compartment revealed a pseudoaneurysm. Surgical exploration was done to drain the hematoma and to suture the axillary arterial puncture site. Motor deficit totally ameliorated shortly after the operation, and the sensory deficit improved only after three weeks.

Özet

Mediyal brakiyal fasiyal kompartman sendromu aksiller arter kullanılarak yapılan perkütan girişimlerden sonra nadir görülen potansiyel bir komplikasyondur. Bu olgu bildirisinde abdominal aort anevrizması nedeniyle endovasküler girişim yapılan 25 yaşındaki erkek hastada aksiller arteriyografi sonrası meydana gelen brakiyal pleksus hasarı (mediyal brakiyal fasiyal kompartman sendromu) sunuldu. Anjiografi ve endovasküler stent işleminden 11 saat sonra sol kolda güçsüzlük, şiddetli ağrı ve his kaybı şikâyeti gelişti. Fizik muayenede hematom veya ekimoz saptanmadı. Sol üst ekstremite brakial, radiyal ve ulnar arter nabızları palpabl idi. Renkli doppler ultrasonografide aksiller kompartmanda psödoanevrizma saptandı. Cerrahi eksplorasyon yapılarak hematom boşaltıldı ve kanayan aksiller arter ponksiyon yeri primer tamir edildi. Motor kusur postoperatif erken dönemde tamamen düzelirken his kusurunun üçüncü haftanın sonunda tamamen normale döndüğü saptandı.
