AB  - The  term  thoracic  outlet  syndrome  (TOS)  describes  a  condition  arising  from  compression  of  the  subclavian  artery,  the  subclavian  vein,  and  the  brachial  plexus  between  the  scalene  muscles  and  the  first  rib  (Fig.  142-1).  There  exists  a  wide  spectrum  of  patient  symptoms,  which  include  vascular  and/or  neurologic  signs.  Neurogenic  TOS  accounts  for  most  cases,  whereas  venous  (2%–3%)  and  arterial  TOS  (1%)  are  relatively  rare.  Objective  vascular  studies  such  as  venograms  and  arteriograms  may  identify  signs  of  vascular  compromise  to  aid  in  the  diagnosis  of  arterial  or  venous  TOS,  but  neurologic  findings  are  more  varied,  and  there  is  no  single  specific  test  to  diagnose  neurogenic  TOS.
