[Thoracic outlet syndrome in a child: a rare pediatric diagnosis].
[thoracic outlet syndrome]
Thoracic
outlet
syndrome
(
TOS
)
is
a
rare
pediatric
syndrome
and
few
cases
have
been
reported
in
the
literature
.
The
authors
report
the
case
of
a
10
-
year
-old
boy
with
generalized
arm
pain
and
neck
stiffness
.
The
angiocomputed
tomography
revealed
the
presence
of
a
TOS
caused
by
an
additional
cervical
rib
and
stenosis
of
the
sub-clavian
artery
.
The
resection
of
this
rib
relieved
the
patient
of
his
pain
during
a
full
year
following
surgery
.
This
case
reminds
us
that
children
can
also
be
affected
by
TOS
.
When
a
cervical
rib
causes
TOS
,
a
resection
is
often
necessary
.
