Delayed brachial plexus paralysis due to subclavian pseudoaneurysm after clavicular fracture

Injuries to the brachial plexus and subclavian artery are serious complications of shoulder girdle trauma. Due to the close anatomical relationship between the brachial plexus and the subclavian artery in the thoracic outlet, both structures are often simultaneously involved in shoulder girdle injuries. Isolated lesions of the subclavian artery or the brachial plexus can also occur, especially with clavicular fractures. When a false subclavian aneurysm leads to a gradually increasing compression of the brachial plexus, the neurological signs and symptoms develop insidiously after the traumatic event.
