First rib pathology can narrow the thoracic outlet thus producing compression of the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels. There have been only three case reports of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) caused by a nonunion of the first rib and there have been no reports of a first rib malunion causing TOS. A rare case of TOS caused by a malunion of the first rib is presented.
第一肋骨病变可使胸廓出口变窄，从而导致臂丛神经和锁骨下血管受压。仅有3例关于第一肋骨不愈合导致神经源性胸廓出口综合征（TOS）的病例报告，尚无第一肋骨畸形愈合导致TOS的报告。本文报告1例罕见的因第一肋骨畸形愈合导致的TOS病例。
