Does thoracic outlet syndrome also include lower facial tingling?

No. CN 7: The platysma is innervated by the cervical branch of the facial nerve see any number seven. Thoracic outlet syndrome affects the brachioplexus which is more peripheral location

No.: The thoracic outlet syndrome it self was found not a appropriate diagnosis most of the time. Lower facial is innervated by C2-3 nerve root, thoracic outlet syndrome usually bothering the nerves innervated by C8-t1.

Usually not: But if consistent symptom relationship, might wonder about a lesion in the brainstem or upper spinal canal instead.
