Brief description/objective

Please Don't Forget the Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome We report the case of a 52-year-old patient who was treated for years for headaches, pain in the neck and arms, and sweating. Despite various therapeutic approaches there was no improvement in the symptoms. Further investigations showed a bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome in the status after multiple bilateral rib fractures after a fall from a window at the age of 18. After the operation of a bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome, the headache disappeared almost completely and there was no more sweating.
