Intense endurance exercise could be associated with multiplethrombogenic risk factors, including dehydration, hemoconcentration, inflammation, and injuries. Despite an increasing number of reported cases of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in athletes that is raising awareness in the medical community, the prevalence is not well established and evidenced-based guidelines for management of this clinical scenario are lacking. We present an episode of unprovoked DVT and multiple pulmonary embolisms with severe right ventricular dysfunction in a male runner. We highlight the challenge of diagnosing DVT and pulmonary embolism in athletes due to frequently atypical symptomatology and the emergent need for longitudinal studies to evaluate their thrombogenic risk and develop specific guidelines in this field.
