Abstract EN
Iliac vein compression syndrome is a condition involving external compression of the left common iliac vein by the right iliac artery, which was first described in the 1850s.
It predominates in females typically between the third and fourth decade of life and has been associated with thrombophilias.
Importantly, the syndrome is amenable to endovascular treatment.
Here, we describe a case of a young athletic female with an incidental finding of a left iliac vein thrombosis while taking oral contraceptives, who was identified as having iliac vein compression syndrome on follow-up MR venography with positive testing for Factor V Leiden mutation.
