The Nuss procedure has become a major alternative operation for patients with pectus excavatum (PE).
We report a case of 27-year-old man with PE who developed thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) after the Nuss procedure. The patient showed clinical symptoms of brachial plexus compression.
Further evaluation demonstrated a narrowed space between the first rib and the anterior scalene muscle and compressing the brachial plexus and vessels.
Nerve nourishing medicine and rehabilitation exercising were taken to restore the muscle strength.
Several months later, the clinical symptoms disappeared.
Medicine and rehabilitation exercising may benefit the functional recovery of impaired nerve in TOS in the early stage of TOS.
努斯手术已成为漏斗胸(PE)患者的一种主要替代手术。
我们报告一例27岁漏斗胸男性患者,在接受努斯手术后出现胸廓出口综合征(TOS)。患者表现出臂丛神经受压的临床症状。
进一步评估显示第一肋骨与前斜角肌之间的间隙变窄,压迫臂丛神经和血管。
采用神经营养药物和康复锻炼来恢复肌肉力量。
几个月后,临床症状消失。
药物和康复锻炼可能有利于胸廓出口综合征早期受损神经的功能恢复。
