Children presenting with NCS are largely asymptomatic, but flank/abdominal pain and varicocele may be present; urinalysis findings of proteinuria and hematuria are also common. [appliedradiology.com]

MTS is seen most commonly in pregnancy and the postpartum period, typically presenting in the second to fourth decades of life. The condition is also seen... [go.gale.com]

• Soft Tissue Swelling

  Exam demonstrated extensive soft tissue swelling to his left lower extremity. A temporary external fixator spanning both fractures was applied to allow soft tissue rest. [pssjournal.biomedcentral.com]

• Leg Weakness

  We have also encountered DVT caused by MTS in the left leg of an ALS patient with weakness of both lower extremities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Patient had spontaneous rupture of membranes at 39 weeks’ gestation with last Lovenox dose administered the day before. [scipublications.com]

In patients presenting with stroke or TIA where the initial workup is negative, further workup should include echocardiogram with bubble studies to look for a PFO. TTE with bubble study is the more popular initial test used to diagnose PFO. [hindawi.com]

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]

Treatment is usually initiated with medications including anticoagulation and or antiplatelet agents. However, the current standard of care centers around treatment of the underlying compression of the left common iliac vein. [thevascularexperts.com]

Since then, treatment of this syndrome has been sharing opinions about conservative treatment or surgical approach, especially after the advent of Endovascular treatment [1-5]. [vascular-endovascular-therapy.imedpub.com]

Generally, this syndrome has been treated with an aggressive intervention treatment, such as an angioplasty or a stent insertion, because treatment with only anticoagulants is ineffective.4,5 Shin et al.2 report iliac vein compression syndrome in patients [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

May-Thurner Syndrome Treatment May-Thurner syndrome is treatable. Your treatment will depend on your symptoms and risk factors. Some treatments for May-Thurner syndrome can include: Blood thinners, which can prevent blood clots. [upmc.com]

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]

Outlook / Prognosis Are there complications of May-Thurner syndrome? The main complication of May-Thurner syndrome is DVT. If a blood clot in your legs breaks off and travels to your lungs, it’s known as a pulmonary embolism. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

The compression prevents blood from flowing properly, leading to narrowing and scarring. In some cases, an artery can compress the right iliac vein, or both veins. [upmc.com]
