Abstract
The authors describe a 24-year-old man who reported the sudden onset of dys pnea and swelling of his left upper arm. An area of increased activity in t he left axillosubclavian region evident on pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy with Tc-99m MAA suggested Paget-Schroetter syndrome (primary deep venous t hrombosis of the upper extremity).
