Thrombotic veno-occlusion of the upper extremity is infrequent in the absence of external trauma or in the presence of an indwelling catheter. Inadvertent injury to the underlying venous circulation can occur when the upper extremity is subjected to an unaccustomed repetitive action. The resultant intimal damage may become a nidus for thrombus development.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D012090	Cumulative Trauma Disorders	Harmful and painful condition caused by overuse or overexertion of some part of the musculoskeletal system, often resulting from work-related physical activities. It is characterized by inflammation, pain, or dysfunction of the involved joints, bones, ligaments, and nerves.
