Abstract
The anatomic problems that lead to TOS are now well known. They consist of congenital anomalies that are superimposed on some form of trauma. There are some promising technologies that offer hope of early anatomic diagnosis. Sophisticated imaging of the brachial plexus as advocated by Collins offers hope. High resolution multidetector CT scanning seems even more promising.
