Upper extremity deep venous effort thrombosis : management of the Paget-Schroetter syndrome in the emergency department

We report a case of upper extremity deep venous effort thrombosis complicating a thoracic outlet syndrome in a 44-year-old patient. The appearance of this complication was sudden. A clinical examination followed by imaging with phlebography leads to a quick diagnosis. Effort thrombosis is a classic example of an entity which, if treated correctly, has minimal long-term sequelae but, if ignored, is associated with significant long-term morbidity. An appropriate medical and interventional care has been implemented as soon as possible. Once primary thrombosis is recognized, catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy is usually successful if initiated early, but often unmasks an underlying problem.
