This syndrome is also known as effort thrombosis. It is the most extreme presentation of the venous form of thoracic outlet syndrome. It is a rare disease of active young people engaged in physical exertion of the arm (e.g., mechanics, rock climbers, swimmers, and weight lifters). Specifically, it is the forceful movement of pulling the extended arm from over the head down toward the torso that leads to the underlying basis of the disease; hypertrophy of the subclavius and anterior scalene muscles.
