Abstract
Over 3 years, we studied 8 patients with neurogenic thoracic outlet sy ndrome (TOS) and tested the medial antebrachial sensory response (MASR ) to determine its diagnostic value. The MASR and ulnar sensory respon se (USR) were abnormal in all 8 patients. Seven had a low median motor response (MMR) with a low USR. In 1, the MASR and USR were abnormal b ut the MMR was normal. We conclude that the MASR is of diagnostic valu e in patients with neurogenic TOS. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
