Abstract
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) associated with congenital clavicular p seudoarthrosis is rare in adults and often misdiagnosed. In this case report, we describe an adult female who was found to have thrombosis o f the subclavian and axillary arteries with embolization documented by invasive angiography. This unusual vascular manifestation of TOS shou ld remind physicians that anatomic derangements may predispose to uppe r extremity ischemia. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
