چکیده:
سابقه و هدف: ترومبوز ورید آگزیلار متعاقب فعالیت یا سندرم Paget–Von Scrotter، بیماری نادر با عوارض خطرناکی است که در ورزشکاران سالم و فاقد هرگونه بیماری زمینه ای سیستمیک، متعاقب فعالیت بدنی شدید در اندام فوقانی رخ می دهد.
معرفی بیمار: آقای ورزشکار 50 ساله ای با تورم حاد بازوی راست متعاقب کار با وزنه مراجعه کرده و در ابتدا با تشخیص سلولیت، درمان آنتی بیوتیکی خوراکی دریافت نمود. به دنبال عدم بهبودی و انجام سونوگرافی داپلر اندام فوقانی، با تشخیص ترومبوز ورید آگزیلار، تحت درمان ضد انعقادی وریدی و شش ماهه ی خوراکی قرار گرفت. بیمار کاملا بهبود یافته و تا 4 سال، بدون ترومبوز باقی مانده بود.
نتیجه گیری: اطلاع پزشک از این بیماری جهت تشخیص صحیح آن حایز اهمیت است تا بیمار دچار عوارض خطرناک احتمالی بیماری، نظیر آمبولی ریه نشود.
Background and Aim: Axillary vein thrombosis after physical activities of upper limbs or Paget-Von Schroetter syndrome is a rare disease with potentially lethal complications، which occurs mainly in athletes without any systemic predisposing factors after repetitive، vigorous activities of upper limbs. Axillary vein can be compressed at various places along its route، most importantly in the costoclavicular space (space between clavicle and the first rib). Compression usually occurs when the patient hyperextends the neck and hyperabducts the arm concurrently (as in bench press)، or when the patient takes a military brace posture with a backward movement of the shoulders. Most patients with effort-related upper extremity deep vein thrombosis have an underlying venous thoracic outlet syndrome.
Presentation: A 50‐year‐old male presented with acute onset of right arm swelling، heaviness and range of motion impairment after weight training. The arm was cyanotic. The pulses were intact. He initially diagnosed with cellulitis and received oral antibiotics، which were ineffective. Doppler sonography examination confirmed the diagnosis of axillary vein thrombosis. He was started on intravenous and then six-month oral anticoagulation therapy. His symptoms resolved and he was without thrombosis at four-year follow‐up. He did not have any systemic predisposing factors for thrombosis such as thrombophilia or malignancy.
Conclusion: The potentially life threatening complications (such as pulmonary emboli) and unusual presentations of the disease، makes its correct diagnosis more important.
