ABSTRACT

Deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity is a well-known entity having multiple causes. Apart from usual thrombotic causative factors, atypical sources do exist and pose a challenge to both clinicians and radiologists. It is essential to diagnose anatomical vascular variations such as May Thurner syndrome to suggest further diagnostic and treatment options for younger age group and prevent morbid complications like pulmonary embolism.
