Why the study?
The study aims to analyze patient characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for Paget-Schroetter syndrome by comparing a new case with 45 published case reports.
This case report and literature review highlights the presentation, diagnosis, and management of Paget-Schroetter syndrome following strenuous manual labor.
Supports anticoagulation for Paget-Schroetter syndrome in young laborers; hypothesis-generating pending prospective trials.
Paget-Schroetter syndrome (PSS) is a primary deep venous thrombosis of the subclavian-axillary vein complex occurring after repetitive and strenuous use of the shoulders and arms. Here, we report the case of a 24-year-old man who presented with left subclavian and axillary vein thrombosis after loading and unloading labor, who was diagnosed with PSS confirmed with Doppler ultrasound, and treated with anticoagulation. By comparing our case with 45 published case reports, we also aim to analyze patient characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for the disorder.
