[Thoracic outlet syndrome].
Thoracic outlet syndrome is produced by many aetiopathogenic factors that compress or stretch the brachial plexus in the subclavian region. Clinical aspects, diagnostic procedure and instrumental examinations are discussed. A treatment programme should be based on the many factors causing the syndrome. Most patients, however, derive benefit from a suitable exercise programme and this is recommended as an initial approach in all cases.
