ABSTRACT
A 38-year-old woman presented to hospital complaining of right leg swelling and pain. She noticed the swelling develop approximately 24 h earlier and the right calf had since become increasingly tender. She was now struggling to weight-bear on her right leg. She denied any shortness of breath, cough or chest pain. She was 32-weeks pregnant and, until this point, the pregnancy has been uncomplicated. This was her third pregnancy and there were no significant complications associated with the previous two pregnancies. She had no past medical history and took no regular medications. She lived with her partner and children and did not work.
