Thoracic outlet syndromes: Diagnosen

Innhold i artikkelen

Diagnosen baserer seg først og fremst på sykehistorien og funnene ved legeundersøkelsen. Legen kan finne at nakkesmertene forverres når armen heves. Det kan samtidig oppstå prikkende fornemmelser ut i armen. Det kan være ømt når legen klemmer på oversiden av kragebeinet ned mot brysthulen.

Ved behov for ytterligere diagnostikk er røntgen av nakken og brystet den foretrukne undersøkelsen. Den kan avdekke eventuelle medfødte forandringer øverst i brysthulen, for eksempel i form av et ekstra ribbein. MR kan også gi avklarende funn. Andre mulige undersøkelser er ultralyd og CT.

Nerveledningsundersøkelser kan også være nyttige.
