ABSTRACT
Thoracic outlet syndrome is caused by the compression of neurovascular structures at the thoracic outlet region. Diagnosis is difficult since thoracic outlet syndrome is often accompanied by distal entrapment neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome or ulnar and radial neuropathies. In this article, the authors report a case regarding a patient with thoracic outlet syndrome whose diagnosis was delayed due to the overlapping of multiple distal entrapment neuropathies.
