ABSTRACT
May-Thurner syndrome, compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, or intimal hypertrophy of the vein resulting from chronic pulsatile force of the right common iliac artery, may results in deep vein thrombosis on the left lower extremity. A patient presented to our facility with deep vein thrombosis caused by May-Thurner syndrome, and showed post-operative fever, pain, and tenderness over the left leg, showing severe lumbar disc herniation with acute cauda equina syndrome. This syndrome should be considered as one of the causes of deep vein thrombosis in the left lower extremity.
