Abstract
Introduction
Clinical manifestations of hypertrophic bifurcated distal biceps tendons are rarely described. We report the first known case of brachial arterial entrapment resulting from this unusual anatomical variable.
Report
A 24-year-old gentleman presented with positional upper limb ischaemic symptoms. Initial investigation was unremarkable. Operative exposure of the ante-cubital fossa revealed compression of the brachial artery by a hypertrophic bifurcated distal biceps tendon. Partial division of the tendon led to resolution of symptoms.
Discussion
In challenging cases of upper limb ischaemia surgical, intervention may be justified for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
