title: Superior thoracic outlet syndrome.
abstract: The authors discuss Superior Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (STOS), which is characterized by aspecific symptomatology. However, some tests may be used to reveal the specificity of the disease. In the past, treatment was often followed by recurrence of the disease. In the last ten years, the Roos operation has been used with a high success rate.
