Surgical treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome in young adults: single centre experience with minimum three-year follow-up

Abstract: Thoracic outlet syndrome is an often misdiagnosed syndrome which consists of a neurovascular compression at the upper thoracic outlet. The clinical presentation can be variable, ranging from mild symptoms to venous thrombosis and muscle atrophy. Many aetiologies, both congenital and acquired, related either to bony or soft tissue anomalies, have been associated with this syndrome. As a consequence, the diagnosis is often challenging and sometimes it can be obtained only with surgical exploration. Additionally,… Show more

“…There are three major procedures for TOS in the absence of a cervical rib: transaxillary rst rib resection 8,31−33 , supraclavicular rst rib resection 2,5,11,34−36 , and supraclavicular release of the anterior and middle scalene muscles leaving the rst rib intact [37][38][39] . Statistically there is no signi cant difference in outcome between the three procedures, fair results being reported in 4-8% of each group 11 .…”

“…El Síndrome de Opérculo torácico (SOT) es una entidad infrecuente, poco conocida, caracterizada por una compresión continua o intermitente de estructuras del paquete neurovascular -plexo braquial, arteria y vena subclavia -por anomalías anatómicas congénitas o adquiridas siendo más frecuente la compresión entre los músculos escalenos anterior y medio y la primera costilla (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). La sintomatología es variable y numerosa en estadios iniciales incluyendo síntomas neurológicos como cefalea, sincopes, parestesias, cervicalgia, dolor tipo anginoso o disconfort (1-10).…”

“…La sintomatología es variable y numerosa en estadios iniciales incluyendo síntomas neurológicos como cefalea, sincopes, parestesias, cervicalgia, dolor tipo anginoso o disconfort (1-10). Hay factores de riesgo asociados para el desarrollo del síndrome generados por predisposición congénita o adquirida, ya sea por traumas repetitivos (lesiones por hiperflexión o hipertensión de la columna cervical) o factores que produzcan espasmo crónico de la musculatura del cuello (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Por la variedad de sintomatología su diagnóstico puede pasar desapercibido o asociarse con otro tipo de síndromes que generan dolor en miembro superior, tórax y cuello.…”
