“…In practice, they all depend on surgeons, who may combine the interventions or make other choices, such as bypass surgery. [ 2 , 19 ] However, most patients are inclined to choose nonsurgical interventions first, [ 15 ] which aim to decrease the compression of the affected areas. Conservative management consists of education, lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, and medications.…”

Rationale:Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a rare disease that presents with neurogenic and vascular symptoms similar to those of cervical spondylosis. However, making the diagnosis of TOS can be challenging due to a lack of standardized objective confirmatory tests.Patient concerns:A 66-year-old man presented with neck, supraclavicular, and right shoulder pain as well as numbness and weakness in the right arm after surgery to correct cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).Diagnosis:Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of CSM. He was diagnosed with TOS based on the manifestations and examination findings.Interventions:After surgery for CSM, nonoperative management was provided.Outcomes:The patient reported pain relief and improving sensation in the shoulder and supraclavicular region.Lessons:Based on this case and the reviewed literature, to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of CSM, clinicians should consider preoperative differential diagnosis to preliminarily exclude it.

“…Some patients may present with acute limb ischemia, which needs to be addressed before fixing the ATOS [ 12 ]. The symptoms of ATOS have more favorable results after an operational treatment than those of NTOS, and they rarely manifest themselves again [ 21 ].…”

The current literature review article describes the anatomy and pathogenesis of the vascular nature of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), as well as gathers the latest and most important information concerning its diagnostic methods and treatment. This syndrome's subcategory includes the venous and the arterial. Data for this review was accumulated through the PubMed database in which only scientific studies published in the last decade (2012-2022) were searched. PubMed offered 347 results, of which 23 were judged suitable and used.Non-invasive methods both for the diagnosis and the treatment of vascular TOS are gaining ground. Medicine, at this point, finds itself on the verge of slowly putting aside the previous invasive gold-standard methods, to be used only in the most urgent situations. The vascular thoracic outlet condition is a rare form of TOS but is also the most trouble-causing one and the deadliest. Fortunately, it can be more efficiently managed because of the current medical innovations. However, further research is needed to establish their already confirmed effectiveness, so they can be even more widely trusted and used.
