Vascular manifestations of the thoracic outlet syndrome.
The thoracic outlet syndrome describes a variety of conditions caused by compression of one or a combination of neurovascular structures traversing the thoracic outlet. Although some believe that the neurological syndrome is overdiagnosed, the vascular syndromes each have characteristic symptoms, physical findings, definitive diagnostic tests, and a low incidence.
