Paget - Schroetter Syndrome in Athletes (Primary Effort Thrombosis)

Journal Title: Spor Hekimliği Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 51, Issue 4

Abstract

Paget-Schroetter syndrome, also known as axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis or effort thrombosis, is a condition that develops frequently in healthy, young individuals, especially after repetitive abduction movement of the dominant upper extremity. Anatomical or hematological factors play role in the pathogenesis of Paget-Schroetter syndrome. Although various treatment modalities have been mentioned in different reports, there is no consensus on treatment. Early diagnosis of Paget-Schroetter syndrome is crucial to start treatment as soon as possible, as serious complications such as pulmonary embolism, cerebral embolism and post-thrombotic syndrome may develop in untreated or inadequately treated patients. In this review article, we aimed to draw attention to the importance of Paget-Schroetter Syndrome in terms of pathogenesis, factors facilitating the formation, clinics, diagnostic methods, treatment options and early diagnosis.
