Idiopathic Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis (UEDVT): Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT) accounts for the minority of all thrombotic events. However, UEDVT has become more common recently; this is due to increasing use of central venous catheters for chemotherapy, dialysis and parenteral nutrition. Although most UEDVT are secondary to central venous catheters, allowing for early diagnostic recognition, Primary UEDVT has also been reported. Due to its rarity, UEDVT does propose a diagnostic challenge in the general practice and emergency department setting. A case of a healthy young 45 year old female, with no thrombotic risk factors, is diagnosed with UEDVT extending into the internal jugular vein, is presented in this report.
