Popis: Venous thrombosis of the upper limb is classically rarely complicated by pulmonary embolism. The authors report a case of phlebitis of the upper limb in a 46-year-old woman with a thoracic outlet syndrome complicated by multiple and recurrent pulmonary emboli. Analysis of recent data from the literature would appear to bring into question the classically accepted harmless nature of this condition regarding the risk of embolic complications.
