Abstract: Internal jugular vein thrombosis is a rare but potentially life threatening condition occurring in the intracranial internal jugular vein or it?s junction with the subclavian vein .This abstract presents a case study of a 50 year old obese patient with atypical chest pain and shortness of breath, diagnosed with internal jugular vein thrombosis. The investigation involved various tests ruling out ischemic causes and ultimately confirming subsegmental pulmonary thromboemboli. Thrombophilia work up was carried out and protein s deficiency was found. The patient responded well to anticoagulation therapy, and there is a need for further research to establish guidelines and standardised treatment approaches.
