Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) is characterized by the compression of the brachial plexus in the thoracic outlet region, caused by various etiologies. We report a case with clinical symptoms and imaging findings from ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of NTOS due to an elongated C7 transverse process and a fibrous band of the middle scalene muscle, which was confirmed in decompression surgery.
神经源性胸廓出口综合征(NTOS)的特征是由于多种病因导致臂丛神经在胸廓出口区域受到压迫。我们报告一例因C7横突过长和中斜角肌纤维带导致的NTOS病例,该病例具有临床症状以及超声和磁共振成像(MRI)的影像学表现,减压手术证实了这一情况。
