摘要
The incidence of TOS is entirely unknown, and prior estimates have very poor face validity. After prospectively recording all patients who were referred to our clinic, we estimate the ratio of those with likely NTOS to VTOS to be approximately 80:20, although the rates of those undergoing operation for NTOS to VTOS decreased to 75:25 (ATOS being sporadic). Further, by estimating the numbers of patients referred within our catchment area, we feel the incidence of NTOS is approximately 3 cases per 100,000 population per year, whereas that of VTOS is 1 case per 100,000 population per year. These rates compare with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and are much greater than that of cystic fibrosis, to use 2 examples of other rare conditions. It is hoped that knowledge of these rates will help guide resource allocation and overall recognition of this disorder.
