Abstract
A young man presented with the severe right upper limb swelling following a heavy weight lifting that was thought to be caused by a biceps tendon rupture. However, subsequent investigations confirmed the diagnosis of Paget-Schroetter syndrome that was associated with an incidental pulmonary embolism. The patient underwent a successful thrombolysis followed by a surgical thoracic outlet decompression. Overall, the patient has made a good recovery. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017. All rights reserved.
