Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) constitutes around 10% of all DVT, and can cause both pul-monary embolism (PE) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in the arm. The incidence of secondary UED-VT is increasing due to widespread use of central venous catheters in patients with cancer and other chronic diseases. We report a case of 51-year-old female diagnosed with upper extremity deep venous thrombosis in emergency department with no co-morbidities and its successful treatment.
