Brachial plexus lipomata presenting with neurogenic and venous thoracic outlet syndrome: case reports and review of the literature.
[thoracic outlet syndrome]
Compression
of
the
brachial
plexus
causing
neurogenic
symptoms
is
involved
in
most
cases
referred
to
vascular
surgeons
for
consideration
of
treatment
of
thoracic
outlet
syndrome
(
TOS
)
.
The
causative
factor
of
the
compression
can
be
difficult
to
diagnose
with
multiple
pathologies
implicated
.
We
present
2
rare
cases
of
supraclavicular
lipomata
causing
compression
of
the
neurovascular
structures
in
the
thoracic
outlet
.
The
only
6
other
cases
of
brachial
plexus
lipomata
were
described
to
our
knowledge
in
the
literature
worldwide
.
We
highlight
that
there
are
a
small
number
of
neurogenic
TOS
cases
where
the
causative
pathology
can
be
successfully
managed
by
surgery
with
expectation
of
a
good
recovery
.
Surgeons
operating
on
these
lesions
can
expect
good
symptom
resolution
for
their
patients
.
