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.
