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 ...

clavicle. This compression results in intermittent to constant pain in the neck, shoulder, upper arm, forearm, or hand. Thoracic outlet syndrome is seen in about one percent of the population(1). The typical patient is a 35-year-old, slender housewife with well-developed musculature.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2011
Of the many clinical entities involving the neck region, one of the most intriguing is thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). TOS is an array of disorders that involves injury to the neurovascular structures in the cervicobrachial region. A classification system based on etiology, symptoms, clinical presentation, and anatomy is supported by most physicians ...

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.

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.

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.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1974
Detection of significant neural compression utilizing nerve conduction velocity and electromyographic studies has emerged to become critically important in confirming a diagnosis of thoracic outlet compression. Decompression of the thoracic outlet has been accomplished by scalenotomy, cervical or first rib resection, or claviclectomy.

Eleven patients with vascular sequelae of thoracic outlet syndrome were operated on at the University of California, SanFrancisco, during the past 17 years. Five patients presented with episodes of ischemia of the arm and hand secondary to microemboli released from subclavian arterial lesions produced by chronic compression at the thoracic outlet ...

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 1998
A careful history and thorough physical examination are the most important components in establishing the diagnosis of TOS. The use of radiographic and laboratory tests, when indicated, can improve the diagnostic yield. Provocative positional maneuvers must be evaluated for their vascular and, more important, for their neurologic response.
