Article Synopsis
- Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) is caused by dynamic compression of the brachial plexus, with this study examining the link between a specific muscle deformity (CDAS) seen in MRI and vascular compression found during surgery.
- The study analyzed 44 patients who underwent surgery after failed rehabilitation, identifying two main types of NTOS: pure neurogenic (type A) and mixed neurogenic-vascular (type B), with type B further divided into three subtypes based on the nature of vascular compression.
- Findings showed that CDAS was more frequently associated with mixed types (especially type B1) and that patients with vascular variants exhibited more significant symptoms related to nerve compression compared to those with pure neurogenic NT
Cases: We present 2 cases of median nerve reconstruction using distal nerve transfers after resection of unusual benign median nerve tumors. Critical sensation was restored in case 1 by transferring the fourth common digital nerve to first web digital nerves. Thumb opposition was regained by transferring the abductor digiti minimi ulnar motor nerve branch to the recurrent median motor nerve branch.
