“…The majority of the cases were male (35 males and 10 females) which was consistent with previous reviews. Also, we found indications that the right arm is more often affected than the left or both, as we found 26 cases involving the right arm, 9–34 15 cases involving the left, 12,35–48 and 4 cases involving both arms 49–52 . These findings may be a simple reflection of the fact that the majority of the population are right‐handed and so it is more likely that the right arm is used more and therefore more susceptible.…”

Paget-Schroetter syndrome (PSS) is a primary deep venous thrombosis of the subclavian-axillary vein complex occurring after repetitive and strenuous use of the shoulders and arms. Here, we report the case of a 24-year-old man who presented with left subclavian and axillary vein thrombosis after loading and unloading labor, who was diagnosed with PSS confirmed with Doppler ultrasound, and treated with anticoagulation. By comparing our case with 45 published case reports, we also aim to analyze patient characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for the disorder.

“…The reviewed cased were found in a PubMed search of publications in the past 5 years using the search term PSS. A total of 29 cases were found, but one report could not be analyzed (5). Including our two cases, the majority of patients were male (23 : 8), with a mean age of 31.6 years.…”

“…Only one patient had a history of coagulopathy ( 6 ). The left and right upper arms were equally affected (right, 13 cases ( 5 - 15 ); left, 13 cases ( 16 - 27 ). In four patients, both sides were affected ( 20 , 28 - 30 ).…”

Two Patients with Paget-Schroetter Syndrome That Were Successfully Diagnosed by Doppler Ultrasonography: Case Studies with a Literature Review

et al. 2020

We herein report on two male patients (age, 22 and 44 years) who were referred to our department with swelling of the upper right arm after attending other hospitals. Right subclavian vein thrombosis was demonstrated by ultrasonography and they were then further evaluated by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Successful treatment involved venous thrombectomy in one patient and anticoagulant therapy in the other. Paget-Schhroetter syndrome was confirmed using standard vascular ultrasonography. Despite the accuracy of this method for diagnosing Paget-Schroetter syndrome, some cases are difficult to confirm. We reviewed 29 previously published case reports of Paget-Schroetter syndrome and analyzed the patient baseline characteristics, time to diagnosis, and the diagnostic methods used.

“…Nonunited fractures of the first rib or clavicle can also often have extensive surrounding callus or heterotopic ossification. An abnormal first rib or clavicle in a patient with suspected TOS is often removed with decompression surgery (19,45,46).…”

Patients with symptoms from compression of the neurovascular bundle in the thoracic outlet are described as having thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), which is best thought of as three conditions classified according to which structures are involved. The purpose of this article is to review the role of imaging in evaluation of patients with TOS, beginning with diagnosis and extending through postoperative management. While diagnosis of TOS still rests on the patient's presenting history and physical examination, imaging examinations are helpful in supporting the diagnosis, delineating abnormal anatomy, determining which structures are compressed, identifying the site of compression, and excluding other diagnoses. Magnetic resonance imaging is the noninvasive imaging modality of choice in evaluating patients with suspected TOS, but computed tomography also plays an important role, particularly in delineating bone anatomy. Evidence of vascular damage is required to make the diagnosis of TOS at imaging. Dynamic compression of the axillosubclavian vessels at the thoracic outlet can be a finding supportive of the diagnosis of TOS but is not a stand-alone diagnostic criterion, as it can be seen in patients without TOS. As diagnosis and treatment of TOS increase, radiologists will increasingly encounter the TOS patient after decompression surgery. Recognition of the expected postoperative appearance of these patients is critical, as is an understanding of the imaging findings of potential short- and long-term complications. (©)RSNA, 2016.
