Abstract

Subclavian artery agenesis is the congenital underdevel-opment of the artery supplying the head, neck and upper extremity directly originating from the aorta. This rare benign condition is usually asymptomatic. But it can be symptomatic in 20% of cases. The decrease/absence of flow caused by agenesis may cause weakening in pulses, neurological events (presyncope, syncope) and ischemic changes in upper extremity. These symptoms can be caused by many inflammatory diseases, especially Taka-yasu's arteritis.

Sol subklavyan arter agenezisinde vertebral arterden aksiller artere kollateral gelişimi

Abstract

Subklavyan arter agenezisi, aortadan direkt köken alan baş, boyun ve üst ekstremiteyi besleyen arte-rin konjenital olarak gelişmeme durumudur. Nadir rastlanılan bu benign durum genellikle asempto-matiktir. Ancak vakaların %20’sinde semptomatik olabilir. Agenezi ile oluşan akım azlığı veya yok-luğu nabızlarda zayıflamaya, nörolojik olaylara (presenkop, senkop) ve üst ekstremitede iskemik değişikliklere sebep olabilir. Bu semptomlara Takayasu arteriti başta olmak üzere birçok inflama-tuvar hastalık sebep olabilir.
