The aim of this work is to propose two new questionnaires (TULIP and MASC) which are simple to complete by the patient, quick to analyze and can be calculated directly by the physician, adapted to the general population, whether during an initial evaluation or for follow-up. The TULIP questionnaire aims to characterize the symptoms suggestive of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). The MASC questionnaire aims to assess the functional maintenance of TOS in a simpler way (fewer questions) than the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and in a lateralized way.
Two questionnaires the TULIP and the MASC are submitted (self completion) to patients suspected of TOS.

Feasibility of both questionnaires : percentage of questionnaires correctly completed
Estimation of the percentage of questionnaires correctly completed. "correctly completed" means a questionnaire without physician's correction.
Time frame: 1 day
TULIP : Diagnostic performance of vascular TOS by concordance between each response and vascular investigations results evaluation
Determine the diagnostic performance of each response according to the presence or absence of vascular compression of the arm considered. We evaluate the correlation between each response of TULIP's items and vascular investigation results (positive ultrasound or/and angiography)
Time frame: 1 day
MASC : Concording with DASH questionnaire
Correlation coefficient with the DASH questionnaire
Time frame: 1 day
MASC : Comparison between concordance MASC/DASH and concordance MASC/Quick DASH
Comparison of correlation coefficient with the DASH questionnaire and of correlation coefficient with the Quick-DASH questionnaire.
Time frame: 1 day
