Thoracic outlet syndrome is caused by compression of the neurovascular structures in the thoracic outlet. It has three main types - neurogenic, venous, and arterial. Neurogenic TOS is the most common, caused by scalene muscle anomalies compressing the brachial plexus. Symptoms include pain, numbness, and weakness in the arm. Conservative treatments focus on postural changes, stretching, and strengthening to relieve compression. Precise diagnosis relies on clinical examination, and surgery may be considered if conservative measures fail.
This document discusses cervical sympathectomy and thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Cervical sympathectomy involves resection of the sympathetic ganglia between the 2nd and 5th thoracic levels to treat hyperhidrosis, Raynaud's disease, and other conditions. Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is now the preferred approach and involves using video assistance and two ports to access and divide the sympathetic chain and ganglia from the 2nd to 4th thoracic levels to treat various conditions. Compensatory sweating is a common complication after sympathectomy.
This document discusses branchial arch anomalies, which are congenital neck masses arising from disturbances in fetal development of the branchial apparatus. It classifies anomalies according to their branchial cleft or pouch of origin, and may take the form of fistulas, sinuses, or cysts. First branchial anomalies are the rarest and can involve the parotid gland or external auditory canal. Second branchial anomalies are most common and usually manifest as cysts in the anterior neck. Third branchial anomalies have a rare internal opening in the pyriform sinus, while fourth branchial anomalies take an even rarer path along the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Surgical excision is typically the treatment after infection resolves
The diaphragm attaches anteriorly and laterally to the inferior sternum, xiphoid process, lower ribs, and costal cartilage. Posterior attachments include the crura and arcuate ligaments connecting to the lumbar vertebrae. Diaphragmatic rupture often results from blunt trauma, presenting with dyspnea, chest pain, and herniated abdominal organs into the thorax seen on imaging as dependent viscera or the collar sign. Delayed presentations can lead to bowel strangulation. CT is the most sensitive imaging method to detect discontinuity of the hemidiaphragm and intrathoracic herniation of abdominal contents. Surgical repair is usually required to correct diaph
This document discusses the anatomy and pathologies of the neck region.

This document summarizes a case of a 51-year-old male diagnosed with a Pancoast tumor (lung cancer) in the right upper lobe that invaded the chest wall. The patient presented with chest and shoulder pain and was found to have a heterogeneous contrast-enhancing mass on CT scan. Biopsy confirmed squamous cell carcinoma. Pancoast tumors are a rare type of lung cancer that typically invades structures at the thoracic inlet like nerves and ribs. Treatment may include pre-operative radiation and surgery to remove the tumor and affected structures, followed by post-operative radiation.
Thoracic outlet syndrome is a condition that involves compression of the nerves or blood vessels that pass through the base of the neck. This can lead to disabling pain in the neck and shoulder, as well as pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hands and fingers.Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a term used to describe a group of disorders that occur when there is compression, injury, or irritation of the nerves and/or blood vessels (arteries and veins) in the lower neck and upper chest area. Thoracic outlet syndrome is named for the space (the thoracic outlet) between your lower neck and upper chest where this grouping of nerves and blood vessels is found.
Who is affected by thoracic outlet syndrome?
Thoracic outlet syndrome affects people of all ages and gender. The condition is common among athletes who participate in sports that require repetitive motions of the arm and shoulder, such as baseball, swimming, volleyball, and other sports.
Neurogenic TOS is the most common form of the disorder (95 percent of people with TOS have this form of the disorder) and generally affects middle-aged women.
Recent studies have shown that, in general, TOS is more common in women than men, particularly among those with poor muscular development, poor posture or both.
What are the symptoms?
Download a Free Guide on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
The signs and symptoms of TOS include neck, shoulder, and arm pain, numbness or impaired circulation to the affected areas.
The pain of TOS is sometimes confused with the pain of angina (chest pain due to an inadequate supply of oxygen to the heart muscle), but the two conditions can be distinguished because the pain of thoracic outlet syndrome does not occur or increase when walking, while the pain of angina usually does. Additionally, the pain of TOS typically increases when raising the affected arm, which does not occur with angina.
Signs and symptoms of TOS help determine the type of disorder a patient has. Thoracic outlet syndrome disorders differ, depending on the part(s) of the body they affect. Thoracic outlet syndrome most commonly affects the nerves, but the condition can also affect the veins and arteries (least common type). In all types of TOS, the thoracic outlet space is narrowed, and there is scar formation around the structures.
Types of thoracic outlet syndrome disorders and related symptoms
Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome: This condition is related to abnormalities of bony and soft tissue in the lower neck region (which may include the cervical rib area) that compress and irritate the nerves of the brachial plexus, the complex of nerves that supply motor (movement) and sensory (feeling) function to the arm and hand. Symptoms include weakness or numbness of the hand; decreased size of hand muscles, which usually occurs on one side of the body; and/or pain, tingling, prickling, numbness and weakness of the neck, chest, and arms.
Venous thoracic outlet syndrome
Thoracic outlet syndrome is caused by compression of the neurovascular structures in the thoracic outlet. It can be neurogenic, venous, or arterial in type. Key findings on examination include a positive Adson's test or Roos test. Imaging such as MRI, CT, and angiography can help in diagnosis. Treatment involves conservative measures initially followed by surgical decompression if symptoms persist, with procedures such as scalenectomy and first rib resection.

Normal anatomical structures like fat pads and muscles that can mimic pleural abnormalities on imaging are also reviewed. Finally, the document discusses the appearance of pleural effusions on chest x-rays and CT scans, including how effusions present differently in upright versus supine patients.
This document discusses thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), defined as abnormal compression of the neurovascular bundle in the narrow space between the clavicle and first rib. It describes the anatomy of the thoracic outlet and classifications of TOS (neurologic, venous, arterial). Common causes include anatomical defects, muscle anomalies, trauma, and repetitive activity. Symptoms vary depending on type but can include pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm and hand. Diagnosis involves clinical exams and imaging tests. Treatment begins with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, and exercises, while surgery is considered if symptoms persist.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. It is often caused by repetitive wrist motions combined with anatomical factors. Diagnosis involves physical exams and electrodiagnostic tests, with severity graded on nerve conduction studies. Initial treatment involves splinting and medications, while surgery is considered if symptoms persist. The most common surgical technique is endoscopic carpal tunnel release, with rehabilitation focusing on scar management, range of motion exercises, and strengthening. Full recovery can take 3-6 months as the nerve heals.
This document discusses various cystic neck masses that can be seen on imaging. It describes the imaging appearance and characteristics of common cystic lesions such as thyroglossal duct cysts, branchial cleft cysts, lymphangiomas, dermoid/epidermoid cysts, thymic cysts, laryngoceles, ranulas, cystic metastatic lymph nodes, and neurogenic tumors.

2. A 40 years old male presented with History of pain, claudication,
numbness and Change in color of right upper limb for 2 weeks.
No history of paresthesia/ weakness of hand or forearm.
O/E, Right hand looks cold, swollen and
Area of gangrene seen on radial aspect of hand. Distal radial
pulse was not palpable.
CTA right upper limb advised.
Case # 1
3. CT FINDINGS
• Right subclavian artery showing string like narrowing
involving a segment measuring 2 cm in length in
costoclavicular space between the cervical rib and
clavicle. Right axillary and proximal brachial arteries
show normal contrast opacification. Distal brachial artery
shows partial thrombus & is accompanied by collaterals.
Radial artery remains unopacified in distal forearm and
hand. Rest of the length of radial artery and ulnar artery
show fair contrast opacification.
5. • The thoracic outlet extends from the cervical spine and superior
border of the mediastinum to the lateral border of the pectoralis minor
muscle. The brachial plexus, subclavian vein, and subclavian artery
traverse the thoracic outlet, and when compressed, can result in upper
extremity symptoms. Patients with symptoms from compression of
the neurovascular bundle in the thoracic outlet are described as
having thoracic outlet syndrome....
• which is best thought of as three conditions classified according to which
structures are involved:
1: Neurogenic TOS (from compression of the brachial plexus nerves),
2: venous TOS (from compression of the subclavian vein).
3: Arterial TOS (from compression of the subclavian artery)
6. • There are three common sites of
compression:
• 1: Scalene triangle: between scalenus
anterior and scalenus medius muscles
• 2: Costoclavicular space: between the clavicle and 1st rib
• 3: Retropectoralis minor space: between pectoralis
minor and coracoid process
• The scalene triangle is defined by the first rib and the
anterior and middle scalene muscles and is the most
medial compartment. The subclavian artery and branches
of the brachial plexus pass through the borders of this

18. Arterial TOS
consists of two components: damage to the
subclavian artery at the level of the first rib and distal
embolic phenomena. Arterial TOS is almost
always associated with underlying bone
abnormalities, either a cervical rib, anomalous first
rib,
or first rib or clavicle fracture
23. • A 25 years old male patient presented with complaint of
fever off & on, nasal obstruction & left eye proptosis since
3 months.
• No history of DM, HTN & smoking.
• His CT PNS was done.

26. • Findings
Heterogenous expansile soft tissue density lesion in left
maxillary, ethmoidal,frontal, sphenoid sinuses and left nasal
cavity with internal hyperdensity. There is ballooning, thinning
and erosion of left lamina papyracea and left cribriform plate
with possible extension into the left orbit.
Diagnosis:
Chronic invasive Fungal Sinusitis
27. Fungal sinusitis is a sinus infection that results from a
fungus.
TYPES
1- Non-invasive: hyphae do not invade the mucosa
e.g: I: Allergic fungal sinusitis II: Sinus fungal mycetoma
2- invasive: hyphae are seen invading mucosa +/- beyond
I: Acute invasive fungal sinusitis
II: Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis
III: Granulomatous invasive fungal sinusitis
Fungal sinusitis
28. Pathology
Infection is believed to originate in the nasal cavity (most often the middle
turbinate) with subsequent spread to the paranasal sinuses.
The infection can spread rapidly from the sinuses via vascular invasion
and bony erosion, potentially leading to an extension to the orbit, brain,
cavernous sinus or carotid arteries.
