| Popis: | May-Thurner syndrome is a rare clinical entity involving venous obstruction of the left lower extremity. May-Thurner syndrome most commonly presents with deep vein thrombosis. We describe an unusual presentation of a girl with a dragging abdominal pain mimicking the symptoms of a varicocele. Diagnosis can be made with MR venogram. There are many different treatment options but if compression of the vein is minimal conservative management is possible. |
