Abstract

The signs and symptoms of the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome are non-specific. History, provocative tests employed in the clinical examination, electromyelography or findings of the somatosensorial evoked potential have great value for diagnosis. Radiologic imaging is a complementary procedure in making the diagnosis, demonstrating the etiologies and surgical planning.

We discussed the possible use of the imaging workup (conventional graphy, MR angiography and 3D CT) in the diagnosis and radiologic findings of the thoracic outlet syndrome.
