Syndromes du défilé cervico-thoraco-brachial
Abstract : Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is one of the most controversial pain
syndromes of the upper limbs. The controversies revolve around both the diagnosis
and treatment of the non-specific or subjective subtypes.
Their diagnosis rests
on a combination of history, suggestive symptoms and clinical examination.
Proximal pain is primarily muscular in origin, while distal symptoms may be the
result of intermittent nerve compression and/or myofascial pain syndrome.
Stringent clinical criteria are required to confirm the diagnosis of subjective
TOS. In reality, multiple factors can be entangled, with TOS being one element
within a multifactorial pain disorder; any musculotendinous pathology of the
upper limb and any peripheral nerve entrapment require screening for potential
concomitant TOS. Surgery is indicated in most cases of true neurogenic TOS,
whereas rehabilitation is the standard treatment for subjective TOS.
