Abstract
In addition to the unusual location in the left upper extremity in our case, the absence of common etiologic factors makes our case of Paget-Schroetter Syndrome a very unique one. This case report aims to discuss the common causes of PSS in order to raise a high index of suspicion in certain groups of patients. This will allow early identification and avoidance of catastrophic outcomes such as pulmonary embolism and stroke.
