Thoracic outlet syndrome is characterized by pain, paresthesia, muscle weakness, and arterial/venous symptoms caused by compression of the neurovascular structures. Compression mainly occurs at three distinct areas in the thoracic outlet: the retropectoralis minor space, the costoclavicular space, and the interscalene triangle. As the symptoms of these three compression sites are very similar, it is difficult to pinpoint the location of the compression and the treatment methods are quite different. Ultrasound-guided diagnostic injections play an important role in the differential diagnosis. Herein, we report a 49-year-old female patient who was previously diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and scheduled for decompression of cervical ribs, but cured by conservative methods after being diagnosed with pectoralis minor syndrome.
