Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

    a neurovascular syndrome associated with compression of the brachial plexus; subclavian artery; and subclavian vein at the superior thoracic outlet. this may result from a variety of anomalies such as a cervical rib, anomalous fascial bands, and abnormalities of the origin or insertion of the anterior or medial scalene muscles. clinical features may include pain in the shoulder and neck region which radiates into the arm, paresis or paralysis of brachial plexus innervated muscles, paresthesia, loss of sensation, reduction of arterial pulses in the affected extremity, ischemia, and edema. (adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, pp214-5).
  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

    a syndrome resulting from the compression of the blood vessels or nerves in the space between the clavicle and first rib (thoracic outlet). it is caused by car accident injuries or repetitive job or sport-related injuries. signs and symptoms include pain in the shoulders and neck, numbness in the fingers, and weakening grip.
