Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In May-Thurner syndrome, the left common iliac vein is compressed between the overlying right common iliac artery and the underlying vertebral body. Chronic and/or repetitive compressions at this site cause fibrosis of the vein and thus stenosis, potentially occluding the lumen. This report describes a case of May-Thurner syndrome discovered incidentally after femoral catheterization for chemotherapy in a 25-month-old child with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). The patient had no symptoms associated with compression. The syndrome was diagnosed by computed tomography, and there was no evidence of thrombosis. The patient died secondary to sepsis. |
