May-Thurner syndrome is one of the rare causes of lower limb deep vein thrombosis resulting from chronic compression of the left iliac vein against lumbar vertebrae by the overlying right common iliac artery. MTS can present as acute or chronic deep vein thrombosis leading to pulmonary embolism (PE), chronic leg pain, chronic ulcers, or skin pigmentation. Recent studies have suggested endovascular management as front-line treatment as it actively treats both the mechanical compression with stent placement and the thrombus burden with chemical dissolution. Herein we report a rare case of 34 year male presenting with unilateral lower limb swelling evaluated to be a case of May Thurner syndrome.
