Thrombophlebitis Migrans

This rare malady of obscure aetiology being characterized chiefly by its recurrent attacks of migrating-phlebitis in peripheral as well as in visceral veins. Moorhead and Abrahamson (1928) have described four cases, showing recurrent attacks of phlebitis in various sites, e.g., in the upper and lower limbs, in the mesenteric veins causing abdominal pain, melaena, etc., in the lungs producing pain in chest and ha?moptysis. In one case in a cardiac vein giving rise to anginal pain with a rapid fibrillating pulse?a most uncommon and interesting phenomenon. Excepting for these case records very little can be found in the English literature of this rare disease.
