HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Term:Iliac vein compression

Accession:HP:6001099 term browser browse the term
Definition:Compression of the common iliac vein against the spine by the contralateral common iliac artery.
Comment:Pulsations of the overriding artery cause shear stress and endothelial changes in the vein, resulting in the formation of fibrous bands or spurs. Over time, the affected area forms a stricture, causing impaired venous return and, in some circumstances, deep venous thrombosis. Common iliac vein compression can be ascertained by Doppler sonography.
