胸郭出口症候群における上腕神経叢造影について

抄録

We use neurography of the brachial plexus as a method of diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome (T. O. S.).
A mixture of 10cc of saline, 10cc of venografin and 10cc of 1per cent lidoeaine is introduced at one shot by supraclavicular approach, and films are taken on A-P views in several positions of the affected arm.
In normal cases the dye fills out the brachial plexus area, but in cases of T. O. S. it shows narrow and thin through the scalenus triangle or the costoclavicular area.
In this study, we find out the difference between normal neurogram and abnormal one of T. O. S., and the difference between pre-ope, neurogram and post-ope. in cases of T. O. S.
