Axillary vein thrombosis in a female backpacker: Paget-Schroetter syndrome

S D Kolodinsky et al. Can Assoc Radiol J. 1989 Aug.

Abstract

In 1875 Sir James Paget reported the first case of primary axillary vein thrombosis. Since then numerous reports of axillary vein thrombosis have appeared citing various initiating events and possible causes. We report here a patient with axillary vein thrombosis. The thrombosis appears to have been provoked by carrying a backpack.
