May-Thurner syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the right common iliac artery overlies and compresses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar spine with or without iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The majority of cases are female and have been associated with the development of vulvar varicosities, particularly during pregnancy. Interestingly and very rarely, this condition has also been identified as a potential cause of varicoceles in males. This is a unique case of a 22-year-old man who had a varicocele secondary to May-Thurner syndrome, successfully treated through endovascular embolization.
梅-图二氏综合征是一种罕见疾病,其特征为右侧髂总动脉覆盖并压迫左侧髂总静脉,使其紧贴腰椎,伴或不伴有髂股深静脉血栓形成(DVT)。大多数病例为女性,且与外阴静脉曲张的发生有关,尤其是在孕期。有趣的是,这种情况在男性中极为罕见地被发现是精索静脉曲张的潜在病因。这是一例独特的病例,一名22岁男性因梅-图二氏综合征继发精索静脉曲张,通过血管内栓塞术成功治愈。
