TMJ disease is commonly a manifestation of RSD, and infrequently due to temporomandibular joint pathology. TMJ can cause RSD, and vice versa. Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is rarely an entity in itself. More commonly what is called TOS is a manifestation of referred pain from cervical spine pathology. The same pathology causes pain as well as spasm in muscles of thoracic outlet triangle. The muscle spasm produces a classic TOS. TOS surgery obviously will not correct the cervical spine pathology.

In rare cases the thoracic outlet spasm of muscles (especially scalenus anticus) is solely due to efferent manifestation of RSD (see Chapter 5).
