The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Annie S. Dubuisson, MD Department of Neurosurgery, CHU Liege, Belgium (Dr. Dubuisson was a peripheral nerve fellow at LSUMC) Abstract: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is due to compression/irritation of brachial plexus (BP) elements ("neurogenic TOS") and/or subclavian vessels ("vascular TOS") in their passage from the cervical area toward the axilla. The usual site of entrapment is the interscalenic triangle. TOS is a source of disagreement among clinicians regarding its incidence, diagnostic criteria and optimal treatment. Constitutional factors, like a cervical rib, predispose to the development of TOS. The syndrome often develops during the 3rd or 4th decade, following external factors such as trauma, weight excess, incorrect shoulder posture. http://www.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/Neur...enter/TOS.html You will find it there, a long time reference lost from crash of OBT.
