Ferumoxytol-enhanced MR venography for diagnosis of venous thoracic outlet syndrome

Venous thoracic outlet syndrome commonly results in arm swelling and pain as the subclavian vein is obstructed within the thoracic inlet. We report the use of ferumoxytol-enhanced contrast MRI in the diagnosis of venous thoracic outlet syndrome in a male adolescent. In this patient who presented wit...

description Venous thoracic outlet syndrome commonly results in arm swelling and pain as the subclavian vein is obstructed within the thoracic inlet. We report the use of ferumoxytol-enhanced contrast MRI in the diagnosis of venous thoracic outlet syndrome in a male adolescent. In this patient who presented with right upper extremity thrombosis, ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI of the chest was able to show both chronic subclavian vein thromboses and dynamic occlusion of the subclavian veins with arm abduction consistent with Paget-Schroetter syndrome.
