Other Information
Thoracic outlet syndrome is a vague diagnosis that describes compression and pressure on the nerves (brachial plexus)and arteries (subclavian artery and axillary artery) that pass through the thoracic outlet region. Tightness and shortening of the scalene muscles is the most common cause of thoracic outlet syndrome. Other causes of thoracic outlet syndrome include bony anomalies like elongated cervical transverse process and cervical rib. |
