Abstract
We report the case of a 38 y old man with antiphospholipid syndrome an d exceptionally extensive central vein thrombosis in the right interna l jugular vein, superior vena cava, and both subclavian veins. In spit e of intensive anticoagulation therapy there was only a partial respon se. We suggest the MR angiography be the reference standard for diagno sis in this type of patient.
