Thoracic outlet anatomy Thoracic outlet syndrome Definition Thoracic outlet syndrome is a condition characterized by pain in the neck and shoulder, numbness tingling of the fingers, and weakening of the grip. Causes Thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare condition caused by compression of blood vessels and nerves in the area of the clavicle (collar bone). This compression usually is caused by the presence of an extra cervical rib (above the first rib) or an abnormal tight fibrous band connecting the spinal vertebra to the rib. People with long necks and droopy shoulders may be predisposed to develop this condition because of extra pressure on their nerves and blood vessels.

Symptoms may be neurological and vasomotor, with diagnosis made after exclusion of conditions that present with similar clinical features. No one test is specific for TOCS. The treatment is surgical decompression, with relief of symptoms in between 52% and 99% of patients. A number of operations have been described to treat TOCS, including division of scalenus anterior alone (scalenectomy),9 first rib resection by transaxillary, transthoracic or posterior approaches

In the past ten years, a growing number of authors have questioned many aspects of this syndrome, including the proposed methods of diagnosis and the value of surgery.(1,2,3,4) It is important for primary care physicians to be aware of the rising tide of skepticism surrounding diagnosis and treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome. Until recently, controversy and doubt about the management of this condition has been largely confined to the neurologic literature.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Thoracic outlet syndrome is a term designating a spectrum of upper extremity neurovascular symptoms and signs referable to compression of the brachial plexus or the vessels exiting the thoracic outlet, or both. The structure that is compressed and the obstructing lesions are variable. Compression of the lower brachial plexus by the first rib is the most common cause of thoracic outlet syndrome. Other causes of compression include a cervical rib, the anterior scalene muscle and fibrous bands. The syndrome usually presents idiopathically, but cervical trauma, hypertrophy of the shoulder muscles and advanced age may be predisposing factors in some patients. The importance of the first rib as the common denominator in all forms of thoracic outlet syndrome has been noted.

Home Surgical Services Vascular Surgery Clinical Services Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Description of Clinical Program Paget-Schroetter syndrome, a subset of TOS What is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? What causes Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? Many things can cause thoracic Outlet Syndrome, as a number of abnormalities can develop in the thoracic outlet area. For example: Some people are born with an extra rib called a "cervical rib". Although most often this causes no particular problem, under certain circumstances the can narrow the opening in the thoracic outlet area and cause compression. Other people may be born with a smaller opening. Most frequently, the symptoms begin after an injury or accident, or after some repetitive movements such as computer work or swimming. Activities that cause enlargement of the scalene muscle, such as weight lifting, can also cause symptoms. What are the usual symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? Symptoms always involve the upper extremities. Numbness, tingling, weakness and pain in the arm and hand are the most common symptoms. However, there are many other symptoms as well. Some patients have swelling of the arm and hand. Some patients only have pain if they are doing an activity that requires their arms to be raised such as brushing their hair. Temperature changes of the extremity can occur. Other symptoms that are quite common include pain in the shoulder, back, neck and head. Many people have thoracic outlet problems on both sides, although one side is usually worse than the other.
