Abstract/Notes

Background: Axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis (ASVT) is a type of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT). UEDVTs are classified as either primary or secondary depending on their etiology. Although uncommon, clinicians should be aware of the clinical presentation of UEDVT as timely diagnosis and early treatment is critical in preventing possible post-thrombotic complications.

Case presentation: We report a rare case of axillary-subclavian and internal jugular vein thrombosis in the absence of clear risk factors in a 78-year-old male weightlifter who presented to the office with two-week duration of left upper extremity pain and swelling following strenuous exercise at the gym.

Summary: The combination of unusual thrombi location, in addition to the unusual absence of existing thoracic-outlet compression or indwelling medical hardware, makes our case of UEDVT especially uncommon. Clinicians should be aware of this rare disease due to the debilitating effects both in the short and long term.

Thrombose veineuse axillaire-sous-clavière à la suite d’un exercice intense chez un patient âgé: un rapport de cas.

Contexte: La thrombose veineuse axillaire-sous-clavière (TVAS) est un type de thrombose veineuse profonde du membre supérieur (TVPMS). Les thromboses veineuses profondes du membre supérieur sont classées comme primaires ou secondaires selon leur étiologie. Bien qu’elles soient peu fréquentes, les cliniciens doivent connaître la présentation clinique de la thrombose veineuse profonde du membre supérieur, car un diagnostic et un traitement précoces sont essentiels pour prévenir d’éventuelles complications postthrombotiques.

Exposé de cas: Nous présentons un cas rare de thrombose de la veine axillaire-sous-clavière et de la veine jugulaire interne en l’absence de facteurs de risque clairs chez un haltérophile de 78 ans qui s’est présenté à la clinique avec une douleur et un gonflement du membre supérieur gauche survenus deux semaines après un exercice physique intense à la salle de sport.

Mots Clés: thrombose veineuse profonde, thrombose veineuse axillaire-sous-clavière, syndrome de Paget-Schroetter, thrombose veineuse profonde du membre supérieur, chiropratique
