REV NEUROL (Paris) , 2006, vol. 162, n° 2, p. 240-242 Doc n°: 125972 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AC222 - DEFILE THORACOCERVICOBRACHIAL Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (NTOS) is a chronic lower trunk brachial plexus entrapment caused by a cervical rib or a fibrous band. True NTOS is rare and progresses usually slowly. Case report. A 12-year-old girl complained of numbness and weakness of the right upper limb immediately after an orthopedic surgical procedure for scoliosis. Neurological and neurophysiological features were both consistent with a neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS). This observation illustrates the risk of NTOS after certain surgical procedures, especially when a prolonged prone position with abducted shoulders is required. Langue : FRANCAIS |
