Abstract
Upper extremity vascular compromise from thoracic outlet syndrome is rare and is usually the result of a "cervical rib," anterior scalene muscle abnormality, or clavicular trauma. We report a case of acute axillary artery thrombosis secondary to a congenital acromioclavicular remnant in a 40-year-old woman.
