PURPOSE: To determine the anatomic characteristics of the thoracic outlet before and after dynamically induced modifications.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-two volunteers (24 women; 28 men; mean age, 42 years) with no clinical or radiographic indications of thoracic outlet syndrome underwent spiral computed tomography (CT) of the apexes at full inspiration with the arms alongside the body and then with the dominant arm in hyperabduction, with a contralateral rotation of the head.
RESULTS: After elevation of the dominant arm, (a) no statistically significant difference was found in median value of the costosubclavian and costoclavicular distances; (b) the median distance between the posterior border of the smaller pectoral muscle and the anterosuperior chest wall was 12 mm in all subjects; (c) the subclavian artery in 18 (75%) women and in 20 (71%) men and/or the subclavian vein in three (12%) women and in three (11%) men were identified in the costoclavicular space. The median angles of rotation, retraction, and upward displacement of the clavicle were 22 degrees, 32 degrees, and 7 degrees, respectively, in women and 25 degrees, 31 degrees, and 11 degrees, respectively, in men.
CONCLUSION: Spiral CT is expected to be useful for determining the complex pathophysiologic processes that underlie thoracic outlet syndrome.
