Abstract
Right subclavian artery dissection was detected in a 78-year-old female victim of the Kumamoto earthquake during a carotid artery ultrasound examination. She was subsequently taken to hospital and diagnosed with localized subclavian artery dissection (LSAD) by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. There have been no previous reports of LSAD detected at a medical checkup. LSAD may progress and become severe, even in asymptomatic patients or patients with mild symptoms, and careful long-term follow-up is therefore required in all patients diagnosed with LSAD.
