Electrodiagnostic features of true neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome

Muscle & Nerve, 2014
ABSTRACTIntroduction: We report the electrodiagnostic (EDX) features of 32 patients with surgically verified true neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TN‐TOS). Methods: Retrospective record review. Results: We found uniform EDX evidence of a chronic axon loss process that affected the lower portion of the brachial plexus and disproportionately involved
