Subclavian artery dissection is rarely reported in the medical literature. We describe the case of a 54-year-old male who presented with multifocal ischemic stroke and was found to have a subclavian artery dissection. We provide an overview of the current literature discussing previously reported cases, clinical features, and treatment.
We present the case of a rupture of the brachialis muscle in a 17-year-old male. We provide an overview of the current literature discussing previously reported cases, the clinical features, and recommended treatment. The anatomy and function of the brachialis muscle and possible mechanism of injury are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
