Abstract

Reported here is a 35-year-old man with findings of thoracic outlet syndrome and bilateral segmental vitiligo on C8–T1 dermatomes. The possible causal relationship between the two disorders under the common denominator of cervical sympathetic involvement is discussed for the first time in the literature.
