Paget–Schroetter syndrome was described once for a viola player who suddenly increased practice time 10-fold, creating enough repetitive pressure against the brachiocephalic and external jugular veins to cause thrombosis. [6] Symptoms may include sudden onset of pain, warmth, redness, blueness and swelling in the arm.
A minority of upper extremity DVTs are due to Paget–Schroetter syndrome, also called effort thrombosis, which occurs in 1–2 people out of 100,000 a year, usually in athletic males around 30 years of age or in those who do significant amounts of overhead manual labor. [69] [147]
Repetitive motions can cause enlargement of muscles which causes compression of veins. Besides, overuse injury of the upper limbs causes swellings, small bleeding, and subsequent fibrosis which would cause the thrombosis of the subclavian vein, leading to Paget–Schroetter disease or effort-induced thrombosis. [7]
Paget's disease may refer to several conditions described by Sir James Paget, surgeon and pathologist: Paget's disease of bone (most common use of the term "Paget's disease") Paget's disease of the breast; Paget–Schroetter disease; Paget's abscess; Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD)
Paget's disease of bone is the second most common metabolic bone disorder, after osteoporosis. [37] The overall prevalence and severity of Paget's disease are decreasing; the cause for these changes is unclear. [38] Paget's disease is rare in people less than 55 years of age, [7] and the prevalence increases with age. [38]
An embolism may be made from any one of numerous materials that may find itself in a blood vessel, including a piece of a thrombus, known as a thromboembolism, air from an intravenous catheter, fat globules from bone marrow, amniotic fluid during birth. [1]
When an arteriovenous fistula is formed involving a major artery like the abdominal aorta, it can lead to a large decrease in peripheral resistance.This lowered peripheral resistance causes the heart to increase cardiac output to maintain proper blood flow to all tissues.
An eponymous disease is a disease, disorder, condition, or syndrome named after a person, usually the physician or other health care professional who first identified the disease; less commonly, a patient who had the disease; rarely, a literary character who exhibited signs of the disease or an actor or subject of an allusion, as characteristics associated with them were suggestive of symptoms ...
