Scalenus Syndrome, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Scalenus Syndrome, also known as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, is a common condition that presents with various symptoms associated with compression of the subclavian artery and inferior roots of the brachial plexus by the anterior scalene muscle. This muscle is located in the neck and presses the artery and nerves to the upper thoracic vertebrae.

The main symptoms of Scalenus syndrome are numbness, weakness and pain in the arm, as well as the appearance of various vascular disorders. Patients suffering from this condition may experience severe pain in the arm, which may spread to the shoulder and neck. Due to poor circulation, swelling and pale skin may appear in the hand, as well as cold extremities.

Scalenus syndrome can be caused by a variety of factors, such as trauma, previous infections, developmental abnormalities, repetitive movements of the arms and neck, and poor posture. The risk of developing this condition also increases in people who participate in sports that require repetitive movements of the upper extremities.

To diagnose scalene muscle syndrome, doctors use various methods, including X-ray and MRI studies, as well as electromyography. Treatment may include physical therapy, massage, drug therapy, and in some cases, surgery may be required.

Overall, scalene syndrome is a serious condition that can negatively impact patients' quality of life. Early consultation with a doctor and proper treatment can help improve the patient's condition and prevent the development of complications.

Scalene muscle syndrome or scalene syndrome is a collection of symptoms that occur when the subclavian arteries and dorsal roots of the brachial plexuses of the affected upper limb are compressed.

This disease is a consequence of narrowing of the scala opening in the chest, connecting the axilla with the costocervical cavity. The syndrome occurs as a complication of inflammatory processes in the shoulder, neck or upper arm, as well as in cases of injury, infection and malignancy.

Symptoms of scalene syndrome include loss of sensation in the affected arm, muscle weakness, swelling, pain, and poor circulation. Violations

**scalene syndrome** or posterior thoracic outlet syndrome, also called anterior scalene syndrome, is a common condition in adults. The patient often complains of weakness and numbness of the arm, and sometimes of pain. When the hand is in the pause position or raised up, the symptoms become more noticeable. During the day, symptoms may be relieved by keeping the arm down, lying in some elevated position, or using a support structure. The syndrome can be hereditary, caused by injury, heavy physical labor and performing activities with the arms and shoulders, and treatments are usually used.

In addition to the physical effects of the syndrome, some people may suffer from mental problems and cognitive distortions. The symptoms mentioned above may give the impression of blood poisoning to the arm or paralysis, which can lead to more serious mental changes. This makes scalene syndrome one of the most interesting disorders studied in neurology. Some patients often turn to a psychologist or psychotherapist to get rid of this syndrome
