RESUMO
May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) is a unique condition characterized by the compression of the left iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, which causes venous outflow obstruction and a high risk of venous sequelae. May-Thurner Syndrome is a condition that is primarily observed in females and is an uncommon cause of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The more common presentation of DVT is in the lower left extremity, although there have been cases of right-sided formation. In this case report, we present a patient with unprovoked, recurrent, left-sided deep vein thrombosis in a 70-year-old woman. The aim of this case report is to highlight this uncommon condition and to suggest consideration of MTS in the setting of a patient with recurrent unprovoked DVTs of the same extremity.
RESUMO
This paper summarizes the case of a patient admitted to the hospital due to methotrexate-induced colitis in the setting of pancytopenia. Although methotrexate is commonly used for a variety of diseases, this medication can precipitate side effects in a subset of patients. This is an atypical case of chronic low-dose methotrexate use leading to colitis and pancytopenia. It is of utmost significance to monitor patients on methotrexate through routine laboratory checks such as complete blood counts and liver function tests to ensure safety and reduce mortality.
