Paget-Schroetter syndrome is defined as a primary deep vein thrombosis of the upper extremities due to obstructive anatomical anomalies in the axillary or subclavian vein that changes venous blood flow or due to intense muscular effort. It usually occurs in young adults with no previous history and its clinical manifestations are pain, spontaneous and severe edema of the upper extremities after stressful physical activity associated with paresthesias, weakness and cyanosis. Diagnosis requires a combination of clinical probability, D-dimer results and ultrasonography. It occurs in approximately 1-2 people per 100,000 inhabitants per year and affects both sexes. The following case is a patient with Paget-Schroetter syndrome which came to the ER at a fourth-level hospital.
