Abstract
Paget-Schroetter syndrome is a relatively uncommon condition related to primary thrombosis of the axillary/subclavian
vein at the costoclavicular junction. Vibration injury is an unusual cause of this syndrome. We report on a 28-year-old man
who presented with acute onset left arm swelling after whole-day work with a pneumatic drill. Duplex ultrasound confirmed
the presence of a thrombus in his left axillary and subclavian vein, which was treated with low molecular weight heparin,
eventually switched to oral anticoagulation.
