The thoracic outlet is the ring formed by the top ribs, just below the collarbone. Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) occurs when nerves or blood vessels are compressed by the rib, collarbone or neck muscles at the top of the outlet.

There are 3 different subgroups:
Neurogenic TOS occurs when the nerves leading from the neck to the arm (the brachial plexus) is compressed. More than 90 percent of cases are neurogenic.
Venous TOS occurs when a vein is compressed, leading to upper body thrombosis. Five percent of cases are venous.
Arterial TOS occurs when an artery is compressed. Only about 1 percent of cases are arterial.
Sometimes, the venous and arterial syndromes are known together as vascular thoracic outlet syndrome.
