nTOS in adolescents is a rare compression syndrome. Decompression of the lower parts of the brachial plexus using a supraclavicular approach without resection of the first rib is an adequate treatment. This retrospective study showed that a reduction in pain was achieved in all patients. In some patients, slight sensory and motor disturbances as well as a certain restriction in overhead work persisted. Patients were able to return to sports.
