Cervicobrachial compression syndromes
Síndromes de compresión cervicobraquial
Resumen:
Four patients, who underwent fíve operations, lead the author to consider the problem of cervico-brachial compression syndromes. Their symptomatology -neurological and vascular, mainly of the spasmodic type and connected with certain attitudes of the upper limb- is related with an upset in the harmony between the cervico-thoracic skeletonand the scapular girdle, in which case the action of the scalenus, of a cervical rib or fírst dorsal rib, oftentimes abnormal, is felt. Surgical treatment is through cervical approach,though lately high intra-tporacic approaches have been atte:npted, with resection of the scalenus anterior and fi.brotic formations compressing the passage, as well asthe cervical rib when necessary. In the latter case this has been facilitated by the prior section of the scalenus anterior and fibrotic formations described by Sebileau. The pleural dome consequently descends. Results obtained have been satisfactory and the operation for anybody with the necessary anatomical knowledge, is a simple one.
Con motivo de 4 enfermas, que sufrieron 5 operaciones, el autor expone el problema de los síndromes de compresión cervicobraquial. La sintomatología, de orden neurológica y vascular, de tipo espasmódico sobre todo, vinculada a determinadas actitudes del miembro superior, está en relación a la rotura de la armonía entre el esqueleto cervicotorácicoy la cintura escapular, donde se destaca la acción de los escalenos, una costilla cervical o una primera costilla dorsal anómala muchas veces. El tratamiento quirúrgico se hace por vía cervical, aunque últimamente han surgido abordajes por vía íntratorácica alta, resecando el escaleno anterior y formaciones fibrosas que comprimen los elementos de pasaje,con resección de la costilla cervical, cuando está indicado, lo que se encuentra facilitado por la sección previa del escaleno anterior y las formaciones fibrosas que· describiera Sebileau, con lo que se produce el descenso del domo pleural. Los resultados han sido satisfactorios, con una operación sencilla, a poco que se tengan los conocimientos anatómicos necesarios.
