Gigantic clavicle osteochondroma with carotid compression as a rare cause of stroke

Abstract: We report the case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with embolic stroke from left common carotid artery compression by a gigantic clavicular osteochondroma. To our knowledge, this is the only such case described in the literature. The other particularity of this case is the delayed appearance of this childhood tumor. Surgery was successful, with a satisfying outcome.

“…The Popliteal Vascular Entrapment Forum does not describe osseous abnormalities as a cause, but bony abnormalities, especially osteochondromas, have been described to cause vascular complications in numerous case reports. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Although arteries can be compromised by osteochondromas in areas above the inguinal ligament, 11 the lower extremity is the most common location. There are multiple reports of femoral, tibial, and fibular osteochondromas compromising the vessels of the popliteal space.…”

“…Stroke secondary to osteochondroma has also been described. Gouicem et al 19 described a common carotid artery occlusion from a clavicle osteochondroma that was resected, and Altaf et al 20 described vertebral artery occlusion from a first cervical vertebra osteochondroma managed with anticoagulation. Sethi et al 21 described a popliteal vein aneurysm managed conservatively.…”

“…Clavicular medial-sided osteochondromas and the first rib osteochondromas are anatomically located extremely close to the vascular structures, brachial plexus, and pleura. As a result, osteochondromas in that region may produce much more serious clinical problems such as stroke (carotid artery compression), [34] brachial plexopathy, [35] subclavian vein thrombosis, [36] thoracic outlet syndrome (subclavian artery compression) [36,37] Horner syndrome, [38] spontaneous hemothorax (as a result of chronic irritation of pleural vessels and mechanical compression) [39] and venous thoracic outlet syndrome. [40] These locations (clavicula medial side and the first rib) may also cause aesthetic problems and impair shoulder mechanics as well.…”
