Abstract:
The case of a 20-year old female patient who developed an isolated thrombosis of the pelvic vein after a marathon run, is presented. After surgical treatment and anticoagulation for one year, complete restitution was seen. The possible relation between marathon running and venous thrombosis without other risk factors is discussed.
