We would like to emphasize the potential association of pregnancy with May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), also known as iliac vein compression syndrome, described as an anatomic variant in which a compression of the thin-walled left iliofemoral vein occurred by the thick-walled right common iliac artery, resulting in intraluminal intimal hyperplasia. A 29-year-old woman treated 4 years before for invalidating May-Thurner syndrome by stenting. A, Absence of stent compression at 6 months of pregnancy. B, No obstruction.

The classic syndrome typically presents in the second to fourth decades of life
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is caused when the left iliac vein is compressed by the right iliac artery, which increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the left extremity. DVT is a blood clot that may partially or completely block blood flow through the vein. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS), sometimes called Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome, primarily affects women between the ages of 20 and 45.

While LCIV compression is common, MTS is largely an underdiagnosed cause of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis May-Thurner Syndrome can only be definitively diagnosed by imaging the lower back and pelvic area, using techniques which may include X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography, ultrasound or other techniques.
