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.

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.

Thoracic outlet syndrome: an overview
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2008Thoracic outlet syndrome is a non-specific label that encompasses the various presentations resulting from compression of neurovascular structures at the thoracic outlet. This overview focuses on its underlying aetiology and management.

It is important to remember the possibility of nonspecific thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) when treating patients with neck and upper extremity symptoms. There are no specific diagnostic criteria for the syndrome. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, clinical examination and the ruling out of other causes.

TOS may arise in a variety of circumstances including trauma, but it may also be seen as a result of postural abnormalities that may be induced by different factors. Cervical ribs and other congenital anomalies are not necessary prerequisites for either the causation or diagnosis of TOS, although they are more common in the TOS population.

Abstract Thoracic outlet syndrome is a complex syndrome that manifests with symptoms based on the presumed injury or impairment of the neurovascular structures in the thoracic outlet space with its intricate anatomy and pathophysiology. The thoracic outlet is a specific anatomical region with three distinct anatomical spaces — interscalene ...

Pseudoneurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome
Muscle & Nerve, 1994AbstractA 61‐year‐old man developed progressive weakness, numbness, and exercise‐induced vascular symptoms in the left hand. There was left thenar wasting. The presence of a supraclavicular bruit and vascular studies indicated left subclavian artery stenosis, but electrophysiological studies demonstrated no evidence for brachial plexopathy.

The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Is Overdiagnosed
Archives of Neurology, 1990Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) refers to disorders attributed to compromise of the neurovascular structures—subclavian/axillary artery and vein, distal cervical roots, brachial plexus fibers—traversing the thoracic outlet. 1 Thoracic outlet syndrome can be subdivided into four distinct subgroups, depending on the particular structure affected, because ...

Thoracic Outlet Compression Syndrome
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1996This article is concerned with thoracic outlet compression syndrome (TOCS), one of the most controversial subjects in medicine. It may also be the most underrated, overlooked, misdiagnosed, and probably the most important and difficult to manage peripheral nerve compression in the upper extremity.
