Anomalous Origin of the Subclavian Artery Associated with Phocomelia


RL van der Horst

Abstract

A hitherto unreported association between anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery and phocomelia of the right arm is described. The aetiology of phocomelia is briefly reviewed and the possible casual relajonship or association between phocomelia and the disturbance in vascular supply to the limb is discussed.
