Abstract :
The term “subclavian steal syndrome” was
first suggested in 19611 to describe the hemodynamic
changes and symptoms which occur when there is an
occlusion of the intrathoracic portion of the subclavian
artery, resulting in retrograde flow in the ipsilateral
vertebral artery which "steals" blood from the basilar
system and sometimes from the circle of Willis, resulting
in symptoms of cerebral ischemia and/or claudication of
the arm.
Congenital subclavian steal syndrome is a rare
entity, with a reported incidence of approximately 40
cases in existingliterature2
.
We present a 33-years-old man with a 6-month
history of intermittent claudication pain in his neck, who
was eventually diagnosed with congenital subclavian
steal syndrome.
Keywords :
Subclavian steal, congenital subclavian steal, right sided aortic arch.
