Abstract

Paget-Schroetter syndrome (PSS) is a primary deep venous thrombosis of subclavian-axillary vein complex after repetitive and strenuous use of shoulders and arms. Here, we report a 24-year-old man who presented with left subclavian and axillary vein thrombosis after loading/unloading labor, diagnosed with PSS via confirmation with Doppler ultrasound, and treated with anticoagulation. By comparing our case with 44 published case reports, we also aim to analyze the patient’s characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for the disease.
