Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]
The description of the spaces in the thoracic outlet:
Theinterscalene triangle: This is the most important of these passageways, which is also the most proximal. This triangle is bordered by the anterior scalene muscle anteriorly, the middle scalene muscle posteriorly, and the medial surface of the first rib inferiorly. Through this space passes the brachial plexus and the subclavian artery.
Thecostoclavicular triangle: This second passageway is bordered anteriorly by the middle third of the clavicle, posteromedially by the first rib, and posterolaterally by the upper border of the scapula. The subclavian vein crosses anterior to the anterior scalene muscle. Just distal to the insterscalene triangle. The neurovascular bundle enters the costoclavicular triangle and then further enters the subcoracoïd space.
The subcoracoid or subpectoralis minor space: This last passageway is beneath the coracoid process just under the pectoralis minor tendon.
