Abstract
Brachial Plexus Palsy Due to Axillary Artery Pseudo aneurysm from Penetrating Trauma to Chest
Highlights
Traumatic pseudo aneurysm of the axillary artery along with brachial plexus injury is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported [1,2,3]
Pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery following trauma occasionally occur with concomitant injury to the brachial plexus
Even small false aneurysm can result in injury to the plexus, the compression effect being heightened by the fact that a single fascial envelope surrounds the structures [7]
Summary
Traumatic pseudo aneurysm of the axillary artery along with brachial plexus injury is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported [1,2,3]. Pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery following trauma occasionally occur with concomitant injury to the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus lies in close proximity to the axillary artery at the thoracic outlet. The close anatomical relationship make both the vascular and neural structures vulnerable to direct insult caused by penetrating injuries to the shoulder girdle [6].
