Abstract:
Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the axillary/subclavian veins is rare (5-10% of DVT). After clinical suspicion and duplex ultrasound, anticoagulation, surgical decompression and sometimes thrombolysis are mandatory due to complications. We discuss the case of a young healthy orchestra conductor with primary DVT of the left upper extremity and concomitant left shoulder musculo-tendinous traumatic injury. Symptoms of both conditions and subtle signs of upper extremity DVT delayed the diagnosis until full-blown DVT occurred. After successful anticoagulation and surgical TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome) decompression, evolution was favorable, without recurrent thrombosis.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
