Abstract

Arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is one of the types of thoracic outlet
syndromes caused by compression of large arteries between the clavicle & first rib. The predominant causes involved are usually repetitive injuries/ sports injuries, motor-vehicle accidents or certain anatomical defects like an extra rib. Patients present with a varied set of non-specific complaints ranging from pain in the neck/shoulder/arms, numbness/tingling of fingers, limb weakness or discoloration, etc. Physical rehabilitation & thrombolysis remains the mainstay of the treatment. Prevention is of course better than the treatment.
