Thoracic outlet syndrome: case report and review.
Thoracic outlet syndrome is caused by a large number of etiologies, which can affect the elements of the neurovascular bundle in combination or separately. The radiology department offers many imaging modalities which can assist in determining which structures may be involved as well as suggest possible etiology. The interventional radiologist, often working in conjunction with the surgeon, can assist in the treatment of many arterial or venous disorders, such as stenosis or thrombosis commonly seen in patients with Thoracic outlet syndrome.
