摘要
Upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has been understudied in the rehabilitation population. Patients undergoing rehabilitation often have many risk factors that predispose them to DVT. It is important to recognize upper-extremity DVT, because recent studies have shown it to pose a significant risk for pulmonary embolus and death. This is the first reported association of an upper-extremity DVT with paralysis.
