Spontaneous cervical swelling syndrome is a rare, benign, and recurrent condition, most commonly affecting middle-aged women. Although its etiology is not fully understood, it is thought to be associated with intermittent occlusion of the thoracic duct, caused by increased pressure in the head and neck region. It occurs as an acute, limited swelling of the left supra-clavicular region and regresses, in most cases, spontaneously, in less than a week.

Neurovascular Complications Associated With Clavicle Fractures: A Report of Three Cases and Recommendations.

Department of Orthopedics, Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, Reading, GBR.

Neurovascular complications associated with clavicular shaft fractures can manifest at presentation, develop gradually over time, or potentially be iatrogenically induced. Conducting a thorough neurovascular examination and, when warranted, pursuing further investigation through modalities such as CT angiogram, MRI, and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are crucial for early diagnosis and pre-operative planning. This comprehensive approach enhances patient outcomes by facilitating timely intervention and addressing any underlying neurovascular issues associated with the fracture.
