Abstract

A 48-year-old female complained of edema and pain in her left neck. She underwent acupuncture therapy for 1 month in a local oriental medicine clinic because of her arm pain. Computer tomography showed left internal jugular vein thrombosis. The patient's condition improved after antibiotic medication and anticoagulation. The patient is currently in outpatient department follow-up and doing well. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an internal jugular vein thrombosis secondary to acupuncture.

48세 여자 환자가 좌측 팔의 통증으로 1개월간 한의원에서 침술치료를 받던 중 좌측 경부의 부종과 통증으로 내원하였다. 컴퓨터 촬영상 좌측 내경정맥 혈전증이 발견되었다. 환자는 항생제와 함께 항응고 치료를 받고는 증세 호전이 되어 현재 통원 치료 중이다. 침술치료에 따른 내경정맥 혈전증은 아직 증례보고가 없는 바 이에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
