Vascular compression syndromes include a group of rare vascular changes due to extrinsic compression of veins or arteries by surrounding structures. These pathologies are often underestimated due to their rarity, clinicians’ poor level of knowledge, and the non-specificity of their symptoms.
Vascular disease (vasculopathy) affects the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients throughout your body and remove waste from your tissues. Common vascular problems happen because plaque (made of fat and cholesterol) slows down or blocks blood flow inside your arteries or veins.
Vascular Compression Syndromes (VCS) encompass a range of rare conditions where blood vessels and, occasionally, nerves are compressed by anatomical structures like muscles, bones, or ligaments. This compression can impede blood flow, cause pain, and, if untreated, lead to severe complications.
Vascular compression syndromes (VCS) are a group of conditions that result from the external compression of blood vessels by surrounding structures. This compression can lead to compromised blood flow, which can lead to a host of symptoms and complications.
Compression of the blood vessels and nerves can cause shoulder and neck pain. It also can cause numbness in the fingers. Common causes of thoracic outlet syndrome include trauma from a car accident, repetitive injuries from a job or sport, and pregnancy.
Neurovascular compression syndromes represent a range of vascular compression disorders in which a cranial nerve (a nerve from the brain) is compressed or distorted, usually by a blood vessel. The kind of pain a patient experiences depends on which structure is compressed.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. A CT scan uses X-rays to get cross-sectional images of your body. A dye may be injected into a vein to view the blood vessels in greater detail, known as CT angiography. A CT scan may identify the location and cause of blood vessel compression.
Vascular compression syndromes are wide-range disease spectrum which can show various symptoms, signs, and clinical significance all over the human body. Radiological diagnosis of vascular compression syndromes based on vascular anatomy and clinical manifestation can be helpful for management. Article metrics.
Venous compression syndromes are a unique group of disorders characterized by anatomical extrinsic venous compression, typically in young and otherwise healthy individuals. While uncommon, they may cause serious complications including pain, swelling, deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and post-thrombotic syndrome.
