The first imaging modality for diagnosis should be color Doppler ultrasonography. Thrombolysis and surgical decompression of the thoracic outlet are focused on relieving the external compression of the veins. In this case report, we aimed to present the greyscale ultrasonography and dynamic Doppler ultrasonography findings of a patient with upper extremity deep venous thrombosis.}, number={12}, publisher={Selçuk BAŞAK}
