vaskuläre Kompressionssyndrome

Vascular compression disorders are numerous and can be divided into those cases where a vascular structure is the "compress-er" or the "compress-ee" . Some conditions fall into both categories, where one vessel compresses another.

Compression of a vascular structure 

• Eagle syndrome
• thoracic outlet syndrome (arterial compression)
• nutcracker syndrome: compression of the left renal vein by the superior mesenteric artery
• posterior nutcracker syndrome: rare anomaly which results from compression of the left renal vein as it passes posterior to the abdominal aorta
• median arcuate ligament syndrome: compression of celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm
• popliteal artery entrapment syndrome: compression of popliteal artery by medial head of gastrocnemius or less commonly popliteus
• quadrilateral space syndrome
• Paget-Schroetter syndrome: compression of subclavian vein (with resultant thrombosis) in the costoclavicular space
• May-Thurner syndrome: compression of the left common iliac vein (CIV) by the overlying right common iliac artery
• anomalous/"malignant" origin of coronary artery: coursing between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk, with risk of sudden death
• hypothenar hammer syndrome:  compression and damage to the ulnar artery by the hypothenar muscles usually in tradesmen who use their palms as hammers
• adductor canal syndrome: compression of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in the adductor canal

Compression by a vascular structure 

• cranial nerve neurovascular compression syndromes: 
  • CN V: trigeminal neuralgia
  • CN VII: hemifacial spasm
  • CN VIII
  • other cranial nerves less commonly
  • see also: dolichoectasia
• vertebral arterial loop
• superior mesenteric artery compression disorders
  • nutcracker syndrome: compression of the left renal vein by the SMA
  • SMA syndrome: compression of the third part of the duodenum by the SMA
• May-Thurner syndrome: compression of the left common iliac vein (CIV) by the overlying right common iliac artery
• aortosternal venous compression
• ovarian vein syndrome: compression of the ureters (usually the right) by a dilated ovarian vein
• vascular rings:
  • double aortic arch: compresses anterior aspect of the trachea and posterior aspect of the esophagus
  • left arch with aberrant right subclavian artery: compresses posterior aspect of the esophagus, may cause dysphagia lusoria
  • right arch with aberrant left subclavian artery: compresses posterior aspect of the esophagus
  • pulmonary sling: compresses posterior aspect of the trachea and anterior aspect of the esophagus
• innominate artery compression syndrome
  • tracheal compression by the brachiocephalic artery occurring in children
