Abstract
BACKGROUND: May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is defined as compression of the left iliac vein between the right iliac artery and the lumbar vertebral body in the presence of signs and symptoms of unilateral left chronic venous insufficiency. However, imaging findings of compression are not manifest in symptoms of the syndrome in all subjects.Entities:

Figure 1Diameters measured between the red lines. The point of greatest compression (A) and the last point of contact between the iliac vein and the vertebral body (B). This point was chosen because it is easy to reproduce.
