Paget-von Schroetter syndrome is spontaneous thrombosis of the subclavian vein, accounting for 0.5-1% of all vein thromboses. A 22-year-old male patient presented with complaints of pain and swelling in the right arm, of sudden onset. Venous duplex ultrasound revealed subclavian vein thrombosis. With early thrombolytic therapy, the symptoms of the patient improved and venous patency was maintained.
