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.

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.

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.

Supraclavicular Versus Transaxillary First Rib Resection for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A, 2020Background: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) results from compression of neurovascular structures supplying the upper extremity as they exit the thoracic outlet. Depending on the clinical presentation, surgical decompression may be required.

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.

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 ...

Success in conservative management depends upon an accurate assessment and development of a treatment plan relative to the irritability of the patient's condition. Postural correction and avoidance of irritating positions must begin early in the rehabilitation phase to retrain the patient in symptom-reducing postures.
