The May-Thurner syndrome is an acquired stenosis of the left common iliac vein causing left lower leg edema, thigh discomfort, and deep venous thrombosis. This condition was first described by May and Thurner in 1956 in 22% of autopsy series. They concluded that it was the underlying factor for deep venous thrombosis on the left side. Here, we present three young female patients with May-Thurner syndrome, but without actual thrombosis. One of these patients was successfully treated with a Wall stent, and the other two patients underwent clinical follow-up with anticoagulant therapy.
梅-图二氏综合征是一种后天性左髂总静脉狭窄，可导致左下肢水肿、大腿不适和深静脉血栓形成。这种病症于1956年由梅和图二氏首次在22%的尸检系列中描述。他们得出结论，认为这是左侧深静脉血栓形成的潜在因素。在此，我们报告三例患有梅-图二氏综合征但未发生实际血栓形成的年轻女性患者。其中一名患者成功接受了Wall支架治疗，另外两名患者接受了抗凝治疗的临床随访。
