The symptoms of compression of the brachial plexus are the same as those produced by cervical ribs. The condition has been described in the past six years by a number of authors. Some have used the term "neuritis of the brachial plexus, mechanical in origin," or "scalenus neurocirculatory compression" to indicate that the chief factor is pressure on the brachial plexus by the anterior scalenus muscle. Compression of the brachial plexus by a first dorsal rib was described over thirty years ago by Murphy.1 Scant attention has been given in the literature to the nonoperative treatment of the symptoms produced by cervical ribs, by abnormal first dorsal ribs or by the squeezing mechanism of the scalenus muscles and the first rib, the so-called
