What is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Case Study about?
A 67-year-old woman presented with left hemithorax paresthesia and pain radiating to her left arm. Imaging showed an anomalous origin of her first left rib from the fusion of C7 and T1 vertebrae, consistent with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). TOS occurs when structures passing through the thoracic outlet are compressed, and can have neurological or vascular causes. Conservative treatments include physical therapy and medications, while surgery may involve first rib resection.
