Abstract:
The diagnosis and clinical features of thoracic outlet syndrome have long confounded clinicians, owing to heterogeneity in symptom presentation and many overlapping competing diagnoses that are "more common." Despite the advent and prevalence of high-resolution imaging, along with the increasing awareness of the syndrome itself, misdiagnoses and untimely diagnoses can result in significant patient morbidity. The authors aimed to summarize the current concepts in the clinical features and diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome.
