The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Is Underrated

Relevance of Costovertebral Exarticulation of the First Rib in Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: A Retrospective Clinical Study

“…With appropriate awareness, one may recognise that several therapy-resistant symptoms (e.g., CTS, epicondylitis, cubital tunnel syndrome and shoulder arm syndrome) are caused by TOS. There is a growing realisation that TOS is underdiagnosed, and we can endorse the views of other authors who studied a larger number of cases [ 10 , 21 ].…”

Efficacy Of Three-dimensional Contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (3d Ce-mra) In The Diagnosis Of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

“…Although provocative positioning tests are usually applied in the diagnosis of TOS, some studies have shown that positive results can also be obtained in the normal subjects. Also, the false positive and negative ratio is found to be quite high in these tests (6,8,17). Abnormal anatomy at the thoracic outlet often causes TOS.…”

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome with Subclavian Artery Thrombosis Caused by Synostosis of the First and Second Ribs

“…T OS manifests because of the compression of neural and/or vascular structures traveling between the clavicle and the scalene muscles. The reported incidence of TOS in the general population is 0.3% to 0.7% 16 , but some authors have argued that the real incidence is closer to 1% or 2% 17,18 . Although most Fig.…”
