May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a medical condition where the left iliac vein is compressed by the right iliac artery, which in turn predisposes patients to deep venous thrombosis (DVT). We present a case of a 67-year-old female who had pain and swelling of the left leg. Ultrasound of the deep veins of the leg revealed DVT of the distal external iliac vein. She was treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis and stent placement. Finally, she was discharged on long-term anticoagulation with warfarin. The purpose of presenting this case is to highlight the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of MTS.
梅-图二氏综合征（MTS）是一种医学病症，即左髂静脉被右髂动脉压迫，这进而使患者易患深静脉血栓形成（DVT）。我们报告一例67岁女性患者，其左腿出现疼痛和肿胀。腿部深静脉超声检查显示髂外静脉远端存在深静脉血栓。她接受了导管定向溶栓和支架置入治疗。最后，她出院并接受华法林长期抗凝治疗。展示该病例的目的是突出梅-图二氏综合征的临床表现、诊断和治疗。
