  After resuscitation, an urgent CT of abdomen, pelvis and chest was organized; this confirmed DVT of the left common iliac vein and also a large left adnexal mass with minimal ascites (Fig. 1). [academic.oup.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]

After discovering May Thurner syndrome, most experts would recommend a workup looking for other risk factors for clot formation. This is often called a hypercoagulable workup. [verywellhealth.com]

The patient was discharged home with anticoagulation treatment and compression stocking. [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]
