May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a rare cause of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This diagnosis is seldomly included in the differential diagnosis. The disease is defined as extraluminal iliac vein compression by the arterial system against bony structures in the iliocaval area. This occurs more commonly on the left side due to the unfortunate position of the proximal left iliac vein that runs between the right common iliac artery and spine. MTS is commonly presented in younger female patients with left unilateral proximal DVT. However, MTS is rarely reported in elderly patients. We present a case of a 69-year-old man with a diagnosis of MTS and further management with a venous stent.
梅-图二氏综合征（MTS）是深静脉血栓形成（DVT）的一种罕见病因。这种诊断很少被纳入鉴别诊断。该疾病被定义为动脉系统对髂腔区域骨性结构造成的髂外静脉受压。由于左髂总静脉近端位置不佳，走行于右髂总动脉和脊柱之间，这种情况更常见于左侧。MTS常见于患有左侧单侧近端DVT的年轻女性患者。然而，老年患者中MTS的报道很少。我们报告一例69岁男性诊断为MTS并接受静脉支架进一步治疗的病例。
