Popis: Mixed thoracic outlet syndrome, which compresses arteries and nerves, is a rare disorder. Mixed thoracic outlet syndrome due to anatomical abnormalities of the anterior scalene muscle is even more sporadic. We report a case of mixed thoracic outlet syndrome in a patient with no history of trauma or vigorous exercise. We reviewed the medical literature, emphasizing the clinical role and the role of diagnostic imaging methods in a sequential approach to this syndrome.
