Abstract

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) refers to the collection of signs and symptoms associated with neurovascular compression in the thoracic outlet. The syndrome can be divided into three subtypes based on the source of compression. Neurogenic TOS results from compression of the brachial plexus, venous TOS results from compression of the subclavian vein, and arterial TOS results from compression of the subclavian artery. Compression of the nerve, vein, or artery can occur alone, but any combination can occur concurrently.
