SUBCLAVICULAR DISLOCATION OF THE OMOHYOID MUSCLE BY RUPTURE OF ITS BINDING FASCIA

H. L. WENGER M.D.1

1 NEW YORK, N. Y.

A hitherto unrecorded subclavicular dislocation of the omohyoid muscle by rupture of its binding fascia, following indirect trauma, is reported. The apex of the lung bulged into the supraclavicular fossa on inspiration because its covering cervical fascia had been torn. In the differential diagnosis, it is absolutely necessary that aneurysm of the subclavian artery be ruled out. It is a tribute to the strength and binding power of the deep cervical fascia, as of all deep fascia, that it is so seldom torn by indirect violence.
