AB  - A  62-year-old  man  with  a  ventriculoperitoneal  shunt  infection  on  parenteral  antibiotics  administered  via  a  right  upper  extremity  peripherally  inserted  central  catheter  (PICC)  line  is  admitted  with  increasing  swelling  of  the  right  upper  extremity.  The  shunt  was  placed  7  weeks  prior  to  admission  following  the  onset  of  obstructive  hydrocephalus  after  a  craniotomy  for  a  glioblastoma  resection.  The  patient  is  placed  in  the  neurologic  intensive  care  unit  (NeuroICU)  because  of  mental  status  changes.  A  right  upper  extremity  ultrasound  documents  a  peri-catheter  thrombosis  in  the  brachial,  axillary,  and  subclavian  veins.
