ABSTRACTThe thoracic outlet syndromes (TOSs) are a group of etiologically and clinically distinct disorders with 1 feature in common: compression of 1 or more neurovascular elements as they traverse the thoracic outlet. The medical literature reflects 5 TOSs: arterial; venous; traumatic neurovascular; true neurogenic; and disputed.

Neurosurgery, 1988
Much controversy exists regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of thoracic outlet syndrome. The authors review the embryology of several fibroosseous anomalies at the superior thoracic aperture and relate normal and morbid anatomy of this region and the putative roles of anthropomorphic, postural, and dynamic factors to the genesis of ...

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is the term commonly used to describe patients with symptoms attributed to compression of the brachial plexus and subclavian vein and artery in the region of the thoracic inlet/outlet. TOS remains extremely controversial with respect to its existence, diagnosis, conservative management, and surgical treatment.

AbstractThoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a much disputed symptom complex. Numbness and pain in the C8–T1 distribution, difficulty of working with one's arms above the horizontal level, pain during the night and pain in the chest and over the scapula are symptoms considered to be caused by TOS.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003
The clinical presentation of thoracic outlet syndrome depends on which anatomic structure is compressed in the area of the thoracic outlet (eg, the axillary-subclavian artery, vein, brachial plexus, or the sympathetic nerves). The clinical syndrome may be isolated to one or a mixture of these compressed anatomic structures.

Abstract The thoracic outlet syndrome is a compressive neurovascular condition of the upper extremity. The neurologic, arterial, and venous structures may be affected individually or in combination in any given patient. Multiple surgical and medical subspecialists may be involved in the care of these patients, including orthopedic, vascular ...

ALL SHOULDER girdle compression syndromes have one problem in common 1 ; compression of the brachial plexus and the subclavian artery and vein, usually between the clavicle and first rib (Fig 1). Grouping the separate syndromes under the single heading of thoracic outlet syndrome 2 has allowed more accurate diagnostic and therapeutic measures to be ...

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1994
The manifestations of thoracic outlet syndrome vary according to which of the neurovascular structures are affected. To provide optimal treatment, the pathogenesis must be understood in terms of both the anatomic variants and the dynamic factors. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, although ancillary diagnostic studies are useful in selected patients.
