“…Most commonly, the presentation is sudden in onset and involves young, healthy individuals after prolonged upper extremity exertion (hence, the term “effort thrombosis”). With incomplete occlusion, patients may be asymptomatic, oligosymptomatic, or only become symptomatic with upper extremity orientations that worsen venous flow . With acute occlusion, the clinical manifestations are readily apparent, including diffuse upper extremity swelling, palpable clotted axillary veins, variable degrees of cyanosis, and pain.…”

The thoracic outlet syndromes (TOSs) are a group of etiologically and clinically distinct disorders with 1 feature in common: compression of 1 or more neurovascular elements as they traverse the thoracic outlet. The medical literature reflects 5 TOSs: arterial; venous; traumatic neurovascular; true neurogenic; and disputed. Of these, the first 4 demonstrate all of the features expected of a syndrome, whereas disputed TOS does not, causing many experts to doubt its existence altogether. Thus, some categorize disputed TOSs as cervicoscapular pain syndrome rather than as a type of TOS. To better understand these disorders, their distinctions, and the reasoning underlying the categorical change of disputed TOS from a form of TOS to a cervicoscapular pain syndrome, a thorough understanding of the pertinent anatomy, pathology, pathophysiology, and electrodiagnostic manifestations of these pathophysiologies is required. This review of the TOSs is provided in 2 parts. In part 1 we covered general information pertinent to all 5 TOSs and reviewed true neurogenic TOS in detail. In part 2, we review the arterial, venous, traumatic neurovascular, and disputed forms of TOS. Muscle Nerve 56: 663-673, 2017.
