May–Thurner syndrome

<a href="#" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" data-html="true" data-trigger="hover" data-content="</a><b>May–Thurner syndrome (MTS), also known as iliac vein compression syndrome, involves the compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, leading to discomfort, swelling, pain, or iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. This compression causes blood stasis, predisposing to clot formation. MTS can also involve the right iliac vein and other venous segments, now broadly termed nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVL). Symptoms include leg swelling, pain, tingling, and numbness, often misdiagnosed as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Diagnosis involves imaging techniques like venography, intravascular ultrasound, and CT scans. Treatment ranges from compression stockings for mild cases to thrombolysis, angioplasty, and stenting for severe cases. MTS is more common in women and typically presents in the second to fourth decades of life."> May–Thurner syndrome</a>

Nutcracker Syndrome

<a href="#" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" data-html="true" data-trigger="hover" data-content="</a><b>The nutcracker syndrome (NCS) results most often from compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. The signs and symptoms of NCS are all derived from the outflow obstruction of the left renal vein. Nutcracker syndrome is diagnosed through imaging such as doppler ultrasound (DUS), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and venography. The selection of the imaging modality is a step-wise process. DUS is the initial choice after clinical suspicion based on symptoms. Differential Diagnosis includes pelvic congestion syndrome, renal stones, May-Thurner Syndrome, genitourinary malignancy, loin pain hematuria syndrome.  Treatment can be conservative or surgical. Conservative management is advised for children; involves weight gain and medications to decrease blood pressure. Surgical Management consists of open and laparoscopic procedures. Open procedures: left renal vein transposition, gonadal vein transposition, renocaval bypass, renal autotransplantation. Endovascular Procedures: Use of stents to improve blood flow; requires anticoagulation therapy post-procedure."> Nutcracker Syndrome</a>
