Abstract

May–Thurner syndrome (MTS) refers to compression of the left common iliac vein by the overlying right common iliac artery, and it is associated with predominance of left-sided deep vein thrombosis. Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare malformation characterized by capillary, venous and/or lymphatic malformations, bony or soft tissue hypertrophy, and/or limb length discrepancy. An association of MTS with KTS is rare. We present an unusual case of a 17-year-old girl who had KTS associated with MTS.
