AbstractUpper extremity deep vein thrombosis is a rare thrombotic disorder (1-4% of all DVT) which has the potential for considerable morbidity. We present a case which demonstrates the limitations in diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of upper extremity deep venous thrombosis. Multidetector spiral computed tomography (CT) continues to evolve as a state of the art imaging modality and our case demonstrates the role and value of multidetector spiral CT venography (CTV) in the diagnosis of upper extremity deep venous thrombosis.
