ABSTRACT
A 46 year-old female patient with a history of hypertension and regular smoker
complained of isolated and brief episodes of dizziness, postural instability, faint feeling
without altered consciousness, after exercise the left arm for 2 years. Her neurological
examination showed asymmetry of carotid and radial pulses. Her extracranial doppler
revealed carotid atherosclerotic changes in both axes, with 50 % right stenosis,
decreased flow of the proximal left vertebral artery and obstruction of the proximal
left subclavian artery. Subclavian Steal Syndrome is a rare condition. Its diagnosis is clinical and it is demonstrated by Doppler or angiography. Treatment should be
determined individually in each case.
