Default Cervical Spine Trauma & Cervicothoracic Tunnel Compression Syndromes

CERVICOTHORACIC TUNNEL COMPRESSION SYNDROMES

The cervicothoracic junction is a unique area that receives far less attention than it deserves in all the healing arts. It is a common site of developmental anomalies; it is a major site of arterial, lymphatic, and neurologic traffic; and it presents the juncture of the highly mobile cervical spine with the very limited thoracic spine. This latter point is biomechanically significant.

Several cervicotrhoracic syndromes fall in the class of neurovascular compression syndromes (also termed thoracic outlet or inlet syndromes), each of which may produce the symptom complex of radiating pain over the shoulders and down the arms, atrophic disturbances, paresthesias, and vasomotor disturbances. These features, however, do not necessarily indicate the specific cause of the problem.


-Some of the many topics covered

Applied Anatomy of the Cervical Plexus
The Brachial Plexus
The Cervicothoracic Junction Area
Classic Effects of Severe Cervical Trauma
Cervicothoracic Tunnel Compression Syndromes

1997 but a lot of interesting reading- written for doctors, but you can get the gist of most of it.

Very educational.....thanks Jo !

Some of it I already knew (and much of it was beyond me )

There were a few points that could really help me if I ask my docs to be more specific about them in documentation for WC and SSDI
