Thoracic outlet syndrom, anatomical abnormalities and there clinical significance.
Summary:
There are few topics more controversial in the field of surgery than thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). The term TOS is used to describe patients with compression of the subclavian vein, subclavian artery, and the brachial plexus in the region of the thoracic outlet.
The wide variability of patient symptoms that include vascular and/or neural signs, diffuse symptoms, and the lack of a valid reliable test to confirm the diagnosis of TOS makes it difficult to identify correctly those patients with TOS.
The compression on the neurovascular bundle can happen everywhere in there route, entering the thoracic inlet between the scalenes muscles, above the first rib and posterior to clavicle.
The causes of TOS may be soft-tissue and osseous abnormalities, neurophysiology and histology chances, of the muscles fibers, and anatomical abnormalities of the neurovascular bundles.
The clinical presentation is highly variable. Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome is the most common manifestation (95% - 97%) of the patients with TOS. Vascular complications arise from the compression of the subclavian vessels (3% - 5%) of the patients with TOS.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the thoracic outlet syndrome, the abnormalities of the anatomy and there clinical importance.
