Overview

Spotaneous axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis (ASVT) has been first described by Cruveilhier in 1816.^[1]
In 1875, Sir James Paget identified the Subclavian vein thrombosis in one of his patients. ^[2]
Von Schroetter was the first one who hypothesized the relation between vascular injury from muscle strain and Subclavian vein thrombosis in 1894. ^[3]
In 1949 Hughes created the term "Paget-Schroetter" and published the first review.^[4]
The father of a patient used Google to diagnose his son's Paget-Von Schrötter syndrome by querying on the symptoms, and it resulted in one of the first descriptions of "googling for diagnosis".^[5]
