Abstrakt: Venous thoracic outlet syndrome commonly results in arm swelling and pain as the subclavian vein is obstructed within the thoracic inlet. We report the use of ferumoxytol-enhanced contrast MRI in the diagnosis of venous thoracic outlet syndrome in a male adolescent. In this patient who presented with right upper extremity thrombosis, ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI of the chest was able to show both chronic subclavian vein thromboses and dynamic occlusion of the subclavian veins with arm abduction consistent with Paget-Schroetter syndrome.
