  • Title: Thoracic outlet syndrome--a functional disturbance of the thoracic upper aperture?
    Author: Lindgren KA, Manninen H, Rytkönen H.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 1995 May; 18(5):526-30. PubMed ID: 7739640.
    Abstract:
    We describe a young woman with typical neurovascular symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). A three-dimensional computerized scan showed a "dislocation" of the first rib at the costotransverse joint. The patient responded to a conservative approach to treatment. The patient presented here demonstrates the functional compromise of the upper thoracic aperture that is frequently seen in young women.
