"This triad is named after an American physician, Richard B Capps (1906-1976) 3 who described a retropharyngeal haemorrhage due to multiple bleeding parathyroid tumours in 1934. Interestingly, despite the ascribed eponym, Capps did not describe a triad in this paper, indeed there is no mention of anterior tracheal displacement anywhere in the article 2! This is a classic example of Stigler's law of eponymy at work."
