Ultrasonographic Changes in the Anterior Scalene Muscle in Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Identifiable ultrasonographic changes in the anterior scalene muscle in symptomatic patients undergoing treatment for neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (nTOS) have not previously been reported. We sought to describe a consistently observed pathological abnormality in the anterior scalene muscle seen on ultrasound in many patients treated for nTOS at our institution.
