Case study 237 - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) - explained by neurosurgeon Dr. Betsy Grunch
Description: Case Study 237 - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Your thoracic outlet is a narrow passage between the collarbone and first rib. Nerves and blood vessels squeeze through it every second of your life.
When that space narrows (from posture, trauma, an extra rib, or repetitive overhead movement) you get pain, numbness, weakness, or circulation changes in the arm and hand.
This case walks through diagnosis, imaging, and when surgery is actually indicated.
