Brown syndrome was first described by Dr. Harold W. Brown who originally described it as 'Superior Oblique Tendon Sheath syndrome'.

Pulmonary Embolism

A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lung that occurs when a clot in another part of the body (often the leg or arm) moves through the bloodstream and becomes lodged in the blood vessels of the lung. This restricts blood flow to the lungs, lowers oxygen levels in the lungs and increases blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
