Abstract
Most patients with neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) have a history of trauma. Scar tissue formation within the scalene muscle and around the nerves after injury cause arm and hand symptoms. We report that supraclavicular scalenotomy followed by external neurolysis without rib resection is very effective as the surgical treatment.
