CT Findings of May–Thurner Syndrome in Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis: A Case Report

Abstract

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a rare cause of deep vein thrombosis. Several cases of MTS because of various causes have been reported. However, MTS due to osteophytes in patients with underlying diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) has not been reported in English literature, to the best of our knowledge. Here, we present the CT findings of MTS in patient with DISH.
