ABSTRACT

As síndromes compressivas estão entre as causas mais comuns de queixas nos ambulatórios dos cirurgiões plásticos e ortopedistas. Os sintomas podem ser evidentes, mas muitas vezes passam despercebidos ao médico generalista. Facilmente são confundidos com sintomas vasculares, da “idade” ou somatização. O entendimento da fisiopatogenia destas lesões auxiliará no diagnóstico precoce e no tratamento mais adequado de cada caso. Neste artigo abordaremos de forma simplificada o manejo clínico, diagnóstico e a conduta nas principais síndromes compressivas do membro superior.


Compressive syndromes are among the most commons causes of complaint in the offices of plastic surgeons and orthopedists. Although the symptoms may be evident, they often go unnoticed to the primary-care physician. They are easily mistaken for vascular symptoms, “aging”, or somatization. An understanding of the physiopathogeny of such lesions will be helpful in the early diagnosis and to select the most appropriate treatment for each case. In this article we briefly address the clinical management, diagnosis, and the approach to the main compressive syndromes of the upper limbs.
