Figure 1. Scheme describing the main anatomical structures involved in the present case of May-Thurner syndrome. (A) Diagram showing the relationship between the common iliac arteries and the common iliac veins in a coronal plane. In this scheme, we highlight the 2 points in which the LCIV was compressed (arrows). (B) Diagram showing the relationship between the common iliac arteries, the LCIV, and the vertebral spine in a sagittal plane. AA – abdominal aorta; ICV – inferior vena cava; RCIV – right common iliac vein; LCIV – left common iliac vein; LCIA – left common iliac artery; RCIA – right common iliac artery.
