Paget-Schroetter's syndrome, a type of primary subclavian axillary vein thrombosis, was diagnosed in a 35-year-old male. Imaging confirmed bilateral subclavian vein thrombosis, presenting classical features of this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Paget-Schroetter's syndrome is defined as primary thrombosis of the subclavian axillary veins.
  • This condition often affects young, active individuals, presenting with upper extremity swelling and pain.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 35-year-old male presenting with symptoms consistent with Paget-Schroetter's syndrome.
  • The patient exhibited classical clinical features necessitating further investigation.

Findings:

  • Antecubital venography was performed to evaluate venous obstruction.
  • The diagnostic imaging revealed bilateral thrombosis of the subclavian veins.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate imaging in suspected Paget-Schroetter's syndrome.
