Reoperation for Persistent or Recurrent Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2021
Identifying the exact cause for persistent and recurrent neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) is challenging even with high-resolution imaging of the thoracic outlet. Improvement can be achieved with redo first rib resection, although the posterior first rib remnant is one of several potential points of brachial plexus compression. In approaching

Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet and Pectoralis Minor Syndromes in Children

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2013
Brachial plexus compression (BPC) occurs above the clavicle as neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) and below as neurogenic pectoralis minor syndrome (NPMS). It was recently noted that 75% of the adults seen for NTOS also had NPMS and in some this was the only diagnosis. This is also true in children but has not yet been reported.

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

Research Directions in Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

2021
Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) most frequently occurs in relatively young, active, and otherwise healthy individuals, often in association with previous neck and/or upper extremity injury, and the symptoms may progress to cause substantial disability.

Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome treatment by the supraclavicular approach

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2013
Background thoracic outlet syndrome refers to compression of one or more of the neurovascular structures traversing the superior aperture of the thoracic cavity. Objective a symptom-based patient-directed questionnaire was used to evaluate the outcome of the supraclavicular approach for treatment of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome.

Thoracic Outlet Syndromes Neurogenic and Arterial

2018
To accomplish decompression of the thoracic outlet, the first rib must be completely resected along with the tendons of the anterior and medial scalene muscle which can be safely done making two incisions as described.

Thoracic outlet syndromes. The so-called “neurogenic types”

Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2016
Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is one of the most controversial pain syndromes of the upper limbs. The controversies revolve around both the diagnosis and treatment of the non-specific or subjective subtypes. Their diagnosis rests on a combination of history, suggestive symptoms and clinical examination.

Symptoms of Neurogenic-Arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

2012
Commonly the symptoms associated with neurogenic compression are pain, paresthesias, numbness, tingling, and, occasionally, weakness of the hand muscles of the involved arm. Less frequently, associated arterial compression may produce paleness of the arm particularly when it is elevated to 90° or 180° of abduction [1–11].

Work-Related Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2015
Outcomes of surgery for neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) in workers' compensation are poor in a majority of patients, partly due to nonspecificity of diagnosis. Most cases have no objective evidence of the presence of brachial plexus dysfunction. Up to 20% of patients experience a new adverse event.
