Abstract
Deep venous thrombosis of the upper limb is a less common phenomenon than lower limb deep vein thrombosis. The commonest reasons are trauma secondary to sport or job related arm movements and arm positions, predisposing for upper limb deep venous thrombosis. In this case report, we will discuss the diagnosis and management of upper limbs deep vein thrombosis, along with review of literature.
