Abstract
This article describes two women with subclavian artery steal syndrome due to an aneurysm. Case 1 was a 48-yearyear-old woman who was found to have a 25 × 18 mm aneurysmal dilatation of the proximal segment of the right subclavian artery during a physical examination, followed by a finding of partial reversal of blood flow in the right vertebral artery, and Case 2 was a young woman who was found to have an aneurysmal dilatation of the descending aorta on a cardiac ultrasound, and then a passing look at the vertebral artery revealed systolic tangential traces in the right vertebral artery, and finally an aneurysm was confirmed in both cases by CTA. This case report discusses the causes, staging, and imaging presentation and diagnosis of subclavian aneurysms.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
