Abstract
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) poses a difficult diagnostic entity with varied etiology and clinical presentation. We present a 35-year-old gentleman with unilateral long thoracic nerve palsy and contralateral subscapular paralysis caused by aberrant scalenus medius anatomy. TOS ought to be considered in patients presenting with isolated nerve palsies.
