title: Magnetic resonance neurography-surgical correlation of neurologic thoracic outlet syndrome.
abstract: For evaluation of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), 3 Tesla magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) is being increasingly used. The authors report the findings on 3 T MRN with surgical correlation in a rare case of neurologic TOS caused by anomalous costal pseudoarthrosis.
