Paget-Schroetter syndrome, also known as effort thrombosis, is a relatively rare
disease process characterized by primary thrombosis to the subclavian and
axillary veins. It usually presents in younger individuals, commonly affecting
the dominant side upper extremity, and the diagnosis relies on a combination of
imaging, laboratory tests, and clinical presentation. Upper extremity deep vein
thrombosis can also lead to pulmonary emboli, as in this case of a 20-year-old
female discovered to have right sided Paget-Schroetter syndrome.
