SUMMARY:

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare, controversial and challenging pathology. The aim of this study is to describe a series of cases diagnosed with the syndrome and classify them according to neurogenic, venous or arterial forms. The method used was observational and descriptive, 21 cases were described. The results found were: 81% of the sample consisted of women, all were right-handed, the dominant limb was affected in 52% of the cases. The neurogenic form of presentation was present in 48%, the venous form in 14% and 38% presented more than one form simultaneously. The most frequent cause found, 86% of cases, were anatomical abnormality, especially anatomical variation of the scalene muscle and fibrotic band. The most affected site of compression was the interscalene space, 48%, more frequent in neurogenic forms, and secondly the costoclavicular space, 33%, especially in vascular cases. The most common treatment was conservative, 67% of the cases, 7 cases were approached surgically and in 1 case there was a need for a bilateral surgical approach. Results were good in 62% of cases. The data presented describe the profile of patients found in Brasília and were similar to those found in the literature review. In addition, they corroborate the importance of incorporating brachial plexus ressonance as a diagnostic method for the neurogenic form and highlight the difficulty still encountered in diagnosing and classifying patients with the syndrome.
