Six patients presented with acute deep vein thrombosis and one presented with chronic venous insufficiency.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Spontaneous iliac vein rupture resulting in a retroperitoneal hematoma is extremely rare and can present as a life-threatening emergency. There is often a delay in diagnosis with no established treatment recommendations.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most common clinical presentation is left lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. Rarely, a patient with IVCS can present with obstruction of venous outflow, without deep vein thrombosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
MTS is estimated to be present in 2% to 5% of patients undergoing evaluation for lower extremity venous disorders.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
RESULTS: Of the 63 patients evaluated, 32 (51%) had nonthrombotic MTS and presented with legedema (100%) or venous claudication (47%).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract May-Thurner syndrome is an uncommon process in which the right common iliac artery compresses the left common iliac vein, resulting in left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis and severe legedema.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The authors experienced a rare case of abrupt legedema with DVT-like symptoms due to iliac vein compression by an overdistended bladder that had developed after cerebrovascular stroke.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Symptoms of venousinsufficiency include: leg pain skin discoloration leg swelling leg ulcers May-Thurner syndrome is caused by the right iliac artery being on top of and putting pressure on the left iliac vein in your pelvis.[healthline.com]
In the interim, he had been diagnosed with Behcet's disease by a rheumatologist who was consulted due to oralulcers and skin lesions and accordingly started on prednisone, colchicine, and azathioprine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We review the differential diagnosis, diagnostic workup, and initial ED management of deep venous thrombosis and provide a brief discussion of May-Thurner syndrome and the association of isotretinoin and vascular thrombi.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Follow-up laboratory workup revealed that subtherapeutic azathioprine dosing, and after appropriate adjustment, the patient has been asymptomatic for 12 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On further workup, she was diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome and underwent left common iliac and left external iliac vein stenting.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Subsequent workup for hypercoagulability, including tests for protein C, protein S, antithrombin III, anticardiolipin antibodies, and factor-V Leiden, were negative.[ispub.com]
Endovascular treatment is a safe and effective treatment of MTS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment modalities included endovascular interventions without thrombolysis (53%) or with thrombolysis (33.2%), open surgery (6.8%), and medical management (7%). Endovascular treatment was more common than surgical or medical treatment (P .001).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As anticoagulation alone is ineffective for DVT treatment in the setting of May-Thurner anatomy, more aggressive treatment is warranted.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Endovascular therapy is the current mainstay of treatment for May-Thurner syndrome. Review of the current literature supports treatment via catheter-directed thrombolysis followed by stent placement with good early results.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There is often a delay in diagnosis with no established treatment recommendations.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and prognosis Because of the high prevalence of asymptomatic iliac vein compression, follow up is not necessary unless the patient is symptomatic from the process.[radiopaedia.org]
The prognosis for patients with May-Thurner syndrome is usually good, particularly if the syndrome is diagnosed and treated in its early stages.[minimallyinvasivevascularcenters.com]
Abstract BACKGROUND The etiology of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) may pose a significant diagnostic challenge because truly reversible causes of DVT are rare.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
BACKGROUND: May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) has a different etiology from that of general deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, few clinical comparisons of MTS-induced and non-MTS-induced DVT have been reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We describe a case of iliac vein compression (May-Thurner) syndrome and review its etiology, diagnosis, significance, and treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

ANATOMY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Iliac vein compression was first described in the 19th century by Virchow.[mhmedical.com]
Early recognition of May-Thurner could prevent a DVT and provide symptomatic relief.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While anticoagulation remains the mainstay treatment of acute DVT, catheter-directed thrombolysis combined with stenting provides a safe and effective method for relieving acute symptoms and preventing postthrombotic syndrome in patients with MTS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Compression socks help to manage and prevent a variety of ailments, including varicose veins, swelling, fatigue, lymphedema, diabetes, DVT, Dysautonomia and much more.[brightlifego.com]
An active early diagnostic approach can prevent significant overall morbidity and help patients to ease back into their daily-life activities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention of May-Thurner Syndrome There is no way to prevent May-Thurner syndrome as it is simply a consequence of anatomy. Am I At Risk? May-Thurner syndrome develops as a consequence of anatomy. Pregnancy and pelvic tumors may worsen symptoms.[floridasurgicalclinic.com]
