Abstract

Abstract A 27-year-old man sustained soft tissue injury to the left shoulder following a fall. Three days later, a diagnosis of left proximal subclavian vein thrombosis was made. The patient was given intravenous urokinase for 24 hours, followed by intravenous unfractionated heparin and oral warfarin. Oral anticoagulant treatment was continued for 12 months. His symptoms completely disappeared after three months of treatment. It is important to be aware of this unusual but potentially serious complication, as early diagnosis and treatment may limit morbidity and mortality. Özet Düşme nedeniyle sol omzunda yumuşak doku hasarı meydana gelen 27 yaşındaki erkek hastada, travmadan üç gün sonra sol proksimal subklavyen ven trombozu tanısı kondu. Hastaya 24 saat boyunca intravenöz ürokinaz verildi. Daha sonra intravenöz fraksiyone olmayan heparin ve ardından oral varfarin tedavisi uygulandı. Oral antikoagülan tedavi 12 ay boyunca sürdürüldü. Hastanın yakınmaları tedavinin üçüncü ayından sonra tamamen geçti. Erken tanı ve tedavi morbidite ve mortaliteyi azalttığından, bu nadir fakat tehlikeli komplikasyona karşı uyanık olunmalıdır.
