We here report a case of an acute cephalic vein thrombophlebitis in a 34-year-old female patient with no known thromboembolic risk factors and no medical history or ongoing treatment. We present the images of her diagnosis, which was made in the presence of a painful and indurated hyperchromic cord of the arm and confirmed by Doppler ultrasound. In the absence of deep extension of the thrombus, his management was limited to a symptomatic treatment without anticoagulation and the symptomatology was amended without complication or recurrence.
