Abstract
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a venous compression syndrome in which the left common iliac vein (LCIV) is compressed between the lower lumbar spine and the right common iliac artery (RCIA). Variations are known where in the right lower limb can be affected. While most of the cases are asymptomatic, it can cause severe morbidity in symptomatic individuals, most commonly deep vein thrombosis and post thrombotic sequelae. In this article, we review the key clinical features, multimodality imaging findings and treatment options of this disorder. Our goal is to raise awareness of this under-diagnosed condition among clinicians in order to promote early detection and recognition to enhance positive and expedited outcomes.
