Abstract

In the last 8 years, 1407 patients were diagnosed as cervico-omo-brachial syndrome in our out-patient clinic. We could classify the various disorders considered as a cause of the cervico-omo-brachial syndrome on the basis of the clinical findings, plain and functional radiograms.
In these disorders, there are cervical osteochondrosis (subdivided into radicular syndrome and spinal cord compression groups), scalenus anticus syndrome, cervical rib, costo-clavicular syndrome, hyperabduction syndrome, Pancoast tumor and tumors in the cervical spine etc. But in the cases of undetermined cause we classified them as other.
342 of 435 patients of cervico-omo-brachial syndrome were of radicular syndrome (79%) and 93 of them of spinal cord compression groups (31%). Others were 922 cases (67%). We discussed each group according to age, sex, occupation, cause, sign and symptoms with their localization, radiological findings and end results.
