Phlegmasia cerulea dolens
(
PCD
) is the term describing the painful venous congestion that results from near-total venous occlusion of a limb. It is unusual in the lower extremity but is decidedly rare in the upper extremity with only a handful of cases reported in the literature.

of the upper extremity usually occurs in patients with significant comorbid conditions such as severe
cardiac failure

PCD
of the upper extremity is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. We present a case of upper extremity
