What is another word for thoracic outlet syndrome?
Pronunciation: [θɔːɹˈasɪk ˈa͡ʊtlɛt sˈɪndɹə͡ʊm] (IPA) 
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a condition where the nerves or blood vessels leading to the arms become compressed due to inadequate space or an obstruction. Common synonyms for TOS include neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome, arterial thoracic outlet syndrome, and venous thoracic outlet syndrome. Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome is the most common, and it results from the compression of the brachial plexus, which is a network of nerves leading to the arms. Arterial TOS occurs when arteries leading to the arms are compressed, while venous TOS occurs when veins leading to the arms are compressed. Treatment of TOS depends on the type and severity of the condition, and may involve physical therapy, surgery, or medication.
