Anomalous muscle causes thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). A 40-year-old man presented with numbness of the left upper extremity, similar to cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. He presented with a positive Bakody's test. However, magnetic resonance imaging showed no significant changes in the cervical spine and revealed an anomalous muscle adjacent to the left brachial plexus. We diagnosed the muscle as the cause of TOS and performed a resection, which resulted in symptomatic improvement.
异常肌肉导致胸廓出口综合征(TOS)。一名40岁男性出现左上肢麻木,类似于颈椎病性神经根病。他的巴科迪试验呈阳性。然而,磁共振成像显示颈椎无明显变化,并发现左臂丛神经附近有一块异常肌肉。我们诊断该肌肉为TOS的病因并进行了切除,症状得到改善。
