Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Comparison
View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Lily Guo and Version 1 by Alan David Kaye.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a collection of symptoms in the shoulder and upper extremity area that results in pain, numbness, and tingling. Identification of thoracic outlet syndrome is complex and a thorough clinical examination in addition to appropriate clinical testing can result in diagnosis. Practitioners must consider the pathology of thoracic outlet syndrome in their differential diagnosis for shoulder and upper extremity pain symptoms so that patients are directed appropriately to timely interventions. Patients with a definitive etiology who have failed conservative management are ideal candidates for surgical correction. This manuscript will discuss thoracic outlet syndrome, occurrence, physical presentation, clinical implications, and diagnosis and management.

  • Thoracic outlet syndrome
  • brachial plexus
  • subclavian vein
  • neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome
Please wait, diff process is still running!
