Abstract

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a syndrome of pathologic neurologic and vascular symptoms involving the upper limb. Its most serious complication, Paget-Schroetter Syndrome, is a major clinical problem, posing a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to specialists not only in angiology and vascular surgery but also in neurology and physiotherapy. There is a need for in-depth examination and differentiation of patients with suspected compression syndrome. We present a review paper covering the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome.
