ninety-five percent of those who experience this rare condition. Diabetes, smoking, excessive exercise, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia can hasten the onset of this condition as primary risk factors (Chan-Tack et
al, 2001). Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Structural anomalies: the coupling of anatomic predisposition and neck trauma, such as whiplash and repetitive stress/posture.

people who work at keyboards, on telephones, on assembly lines, or who sit in one position for several hours at a time. The specific cause is repeated small traumata
