A Rare Cause of Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Young Orchestra Conductor.

Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the axillary/subclavian veins is rare (5-10% of DVT). After clinical suspicion and duplex ultrasound, anticoagulation, surgical decompression and sometimes thrombolysis are mandatory due to complications. We discuss the case of a young healthy orchestra conductor with primary DVT of the left upper extremity and concomitant left shoulder musculo-tendinous traumatic injury.
