Abstract
A mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta is a rare entity, which might have serious clinical manifestations, including arterial emboli. Due to its low incidence, there is no consensus regarding the most adequate management of mobile thoracic aorta thrombus. The current case describes a patient with Polycythemia Vera and myeloproliferative neoplasm, who presented with mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta, manifested by blue toe syndrome and asymptomatic splenic infarct. She was treated conservatively with anti-coagulation and Iloprost alongside the patient's permanent treatment of Aspirin, Hydrea and Atorvastatin. Under this treatment, the thrombus resolved completely, and the blue toes improved, except for one.
