A Rare Cause of Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Young Orchestra Conductor
Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the axillary/subclavian veins is rare (5–10% of DVT). After clinical suspicion and duplex ultrasound, anticoagulation, surgical decompression and sometimes thrombolysis are mandatory due to complications. We discuss the case of a young healthy orchestra...

| description | Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the axillary/subclavian veins is rare (5–10% of DVT). After clinical suspicion and duplex ultrasound, anticoagulation, surgical decompression and sometimes thrombolysis are mandatory due to complications. We discuss the case of a young healthy orchestra conductor with primary DVT of the left upper extremity and concomitant left shoulder musculo-tendinous traumatic injury. Symptoms of both conditions and subtle signs of upper extremity DVT delayed the diagnosis until full-blown DVT occurred. After successful anticoagulation and surgical TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome) decompression, evolution was favorable, without recurrent thrombosis. |
