    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Orthopedics
    • Vascular Surgery

    Context:

    • Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) arises from compression or stretching of the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels.
    • Multiple etiological factors contribute to TOS, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic approach.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, and instrumental examinations for thoracic outlet syndrome.
    • To outline a treatment strategy tailored to the diverse causes of TOS.

    Summary:

    • TOS involves neurovascular compression in the thoracic outlet region.
    • Diagnosis requires evaluation of clinical signs, symptoms, and instrumental findings.
    • Treatment should address the underlying cause, with exercise therapy being a primary recommendation.
