Abstract:
Cat bites represent between 5-15% of all animal bites and are sometimes encountered by primary care and emergency department physicians. Other than polymicrobial infections, very few other complications have been reported. We present the case of a 75-year-old male who developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his left leg where he had been bitten by a cat four days prior. Although it is not possible to describe a causal relationship, we discuss whether these events are related.

Purpose and Process:
Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.
