[Radiologic diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome and its vascular complications].
The term "Thoracic Outlet Syndrome" (TOS) applies to all neurological and vascular symptoms caused by compression of the nerves and vessels situated in the outlet (inlet) of the thorax and the costoclavicular area. The clinical and radiological results of 20 patients with acquired and congenital TOS are presented and the relevant literature is reviewed. The different radiological findings of plain chest X-ray, phlebography, intravenous DSA and arteriography are demonstrated with special emphasis on the vascular complications of TOS.
