==Venous Obstructive Diseases==
 
===Description===
 
 
 
Obstruction of the venous circulation creates high pressure in the capillary beds surrounding the affected area.  As a result, edema and/or effusion are very common clinical signs seen in these types of diseases.  Some specific examples of venous diseases are detailed below including Budd-Chari-Like syndrome, Portal Vein Thrombosis, and Cranial Vena Cava Syndrome.
