Paget-Schroetter disease differential diagnosis
Overview
Since early diagnosing and treatment of Paget-Schroetter disease is crucial to halt fatal complications like pulmonary embolism, it is important to differentiate it from other diseases with similar presentations and findings.
- Other upper limb musculoskeletal disorders and soft tissue infections(cellulitis), which also present with painful congestion and edema of the affected arm [1]
- Trauma
- Compressive tumors [2]
- cervical radiculopathy
- spinal stenosis
- First rib anomaly[3]
- Upper extremity DVT[4]
- Systemic vascular disease (eg, sickle cell trait/disease)[5]
