Summary
A rare case of ischemic arm in a woman was caused by subclavian artery damage due to a clavicular anomaly linked to cleidocranial dysostosis. This is only the second reported instance of this specific vascular complication.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Medical Genetics
Background:
- Cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) is a rare genetic disorder affecting bone development, primarily the clavicles and skull.
- Vascular complications associated with skeletal anomalies are uncommon but can be severe.
- Subclavian artery compromise is a potential, though rarely reported, sequela of clavicular abnormalities.
