Abstract
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is observed more frequently in women, although the exact causes of this sex disparity remain unclear. By investigating the three types of TOS—arterial, neurogenic, and venous—regarding symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, this article aims to shed light on the current understanding of TOS, focusing on its variations in women.
