Abstract
Eighteen patients (20 sides) with thoracic outlet syndrome were examined with both neurography of the brachial plexus and angiography of the subclavian artery and treated by surgical procedure (trans-axillary aproach). We compared two methods with operative findings. Angiography was examined in resting position, and it's positive findings were seen in 80%. Neurography was examined in resting and standing position, and it's positive rate was 100%. We think that neurography is more useful for evaluating the compression in costoclavicular lesion and interscalenus lesion than angiography. But angiography is more beneficial for assessing the hyperabduction syndrome and Power's syndrome.
