“…[3,4] Compression of the subclavian artery or vein is classified as vascular TOS. [5] Neurogenic TOS is characterized by compression of the brachial plexus nerve roots (C5 to T1) within the scalene triangle and/or subpectoral space. Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome is the most common manifestation, presenting with pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and vasomotor changes of the upper extremity.…”

Bu çalışmada torasik çıkış sendromlu hastalarda manuel tedavinin ağrı algısı ve solunum değişkenleri üzerine akut etkileri araştırıldı.Ça lış mapla nı:Çalışmaya torasik çıkış sendromlu 10 hasta (1 erkek, 9 kadın; ort. yaş 31.3±9.0 yıl; dağılım, 20-43 yıl) dahil edildi. Hastalar servikal omurga ve toraksı kapsayan tek bir manuel tedavi seansına alındı. Manuel tedavi programı olarak skalen, üst trapez, sternokleidomastoid, rektus abdominis, kalça fleksör kaslarına germe; birinci kaburga, servikal ve torakal omurga, sakroiliyak eklem ve toraks mobilizasyonu uygulandı. Üst kol ve boynun ağrı algısı görsel analog ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Ölçümler 30 dakikalık manuel tedavi seansının öncesinde ve hemen sonrasında gerçekleştirildi. Pulmoner fonksiyon testi spirometre ile yapıldı. Solunum kas kuvveti (inspiratuar ve ekspiratuar kas kuvveti; sırasıyla maksimum inspiratuar basınç ve maksimum ekspiratuar basınç) ölçüldü. Solunum kas enduransı, maksimal inspiratuar basıncın %35'inde, sabit eşik yükü kullanılarak kaydedildi. Bul gu lar:Manuel tedavi girişimi sonrasında pulmoner fonksiyon değişkenleri ve maksimum ekspiratuar basınçta anlamlı değişim yoktu (p>0.05). Buna karşın, maksimum inspiratuar basınç ve solunum kas enduransı arttı (p<0.05). Üst kol ve boyundaki ağrı algıları tedavi sonrasında azaldı (p<0.05). So nuç:Torasik çıkış sendromlu hastalarda 30 dakikalık tek bir manuel tedavi seansı inspiratuar kas kuvvetini ve solunum kas enduransını artırırken pulmoner fonksiyon ve ekspiratuar kas kuvvetini artırmadı. Manuel tedavi hızlı ağrı azalması ile birlikte fonksiyonel solunumu ve primer solunum kaslarının daha etkili kullanımını kolaylaştırabilir. Cerrahi işlemlerden sonra düzenli manuel tedavinin solunum değişkenleri üzerine uzun dönem etkileri araştırılmalıdır.Anah tar söz cük ler: İnspiratuar kas kuvveti; manuel tedavi; torasik çıkış sendromu.

“…Compression can occur between the anterior scalene muscle (ASM) and middle scalene muscle (or sometimes through the ASM); beneath the clavicle in the costoclavicular space; or beneath the tendon of the pectoralis minor. 2 The medical literature describes 2 categories of NTOS: true NTOS and disputed NTOS. A diagnosis of true NTOS requires electrodiagnostic study (EDS) abnormalities showing evidence of brachial plexus injury (discussed later).…”

“…15 The incidence is estimated to be 1 to 2% 16 with a female-to-male ratio of up to 4:1. 17 However, nTOS generally affects the brachial plexus, representing 95% of overall TOS occurrences. 18 Rinehardt et al analyzed the surgical treatment of TOS between 2005 and 2014 using the dataset of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.…”

Introduction Brachial plexus lipomas are extremely rare benign tumors that may cause slow progression of neurological deficits leading to thoracic outlet syndrome. Up to now, surgery remains challenging. The aim of this study is to present our surgical treatment regime and long-term neurological outcome in three cases of giant brachial plexus lipomas and to show results of systematic review. Patients and Methods Retrospective analysis of our database “peripheral nerve lesion” to identify patients suffering from brachial plexus lipomas between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2019. Systematic review was performed for literature published until March 31, 2020, analyzing PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and the Cochrane Collaboration Library independently by two authors. Results Over the past years, three patients suffering from giant brachial plexus lipomas attended to our neurosurgical department. All patients underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound examinations, and electrophysiological testing. Tumors were removed microsurgically via anterior/posterior, supraclavicular/infraclavicular, and combined approaches. The patients were accessed postoperatively by MRI and clinical follow-up. Systematic review of the literature revealed 22 cases, which were analyzed in regard to demographics, surgical treatment, and neurological outcome. Conclusion Brachial plexus lipomas are an extremely rare cause for brachial plexus compression. Total microsurgical removal with intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring is the treatment of choice with excellent long-term MRI and clinical outcome.
