“…La qualité de l'IRM a récemment évolué avec l'émergence d'IRM 3 tesla (3T) permettant d'augmenter la résolution spatiale et de réduire le temps d'acquisition des séquences par l'augmentation du rapport signal sur bruit. Elles offrent des avantages incontestables dans l'exploration des pathologies musculo-squelettiques axiales et périphériques par rapport aux IRM 1,5 tesla (1.5T) [5]. Néanmoins, peu d'articles fournissent des données sur ses véritables performances diagnostiques dans le SDCTB.…”

“…The SSFP sequence (Steady State Free Precession), which it has different acronyms like FIESTA, is a gradient echo sequence that gives a high signal-to-noise ratio and is sensitive to respiratory movements. The clinical value of this sequence comes from its ability to provide an adequate tissue signal with a high T2/T1 ratio [8] .…”

“…Sensitivity and specificity were, respectively, 41% and 33%. Magnetic resonance neurography seems to have an interest for the positive diagnosis of NTOS and to highlight a zone of compression or irritation of the brachial plexus [ 52 , 53 ], but is not frequently used in clinical practice.…”

Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) is a disabling condition. Its diagnosis remains challenging and is mainly guided by examination. Yet, electrophysiological evaluations are the gold standard for diagnosis of entrapment syndromes. We aimed to assess the interest of electrophysiological evaluation to diagnose NTOS. A systematic literature research was performed using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Cochrane and Google Scholar databases to collect studies reporting results of electrophysiological assessment of patients with NTOS. Then, a meta-analysis was conducted. Nine studies were eligible and concerned two hundred and thirteen patients. Results were heterogenous among studies and the quality of evidence was very low to moderate. Data could not evaluate sensitivity or specificity of electrophysiological evaluations for NTOS. The meta-analysis found significantly decreased amplitudes of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve SNAP (sensory nerve action potential), ulnar SNAP, median CMAP (compound motor action potential) and ulnar CMAP. Needle examination found abnormalities for the abductor pollicis brevis, first dorsal interosseous and adductor digiti minimi. Unlike most upper-limb entrapment syndromes, nerve conduction assessment only provided clues in favour of NTOS. Decreased amplitude for ulnar SNAP, medial antebrachial cutaneous SNAP, median CMAP and ulnar CMAP should be assessed, as well as needle examination. Larger studies are needed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of electrophysiology in NTOS diagnosis.
