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.

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 ...

Introduction Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is one of the most extensively discussed diagnoses. There is neither a clear and homogenous clinical presentation nor an accepted definition. The term describes a complex of symptoms and complaints caused by the compression of nerves and vascular structures at one of the three defined constrictions of the ...

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 ...

Thoracic outlet syndrome includes a variety of previously described syndromes, the common factor being compression of the neurovascular bundle as it exists from the thoracic outlet. Diagnosis is largely one of exclusion but may be aided in some patients by angiography, assessment of the conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve, and other objective tests.

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.

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.

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.

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.
