Abstract: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a trio of debilitating musculoskeletal disorders that result from compression of the neurovascular structures that serve the upper extremity, each defined by a distinct clinical presentation. The most common types of TOS are neurogenic TOS in which compression of the brachial plexus results in disabling upper-extremity pain and paresthesias, and venous TOS (vTOS), which results in subclavian vein thrombosis, upper-extremity swelling, and cyanosis secondary to subclavian vein compression.
