Pelvic kidney as a cause of May-Thurner syndrome.

Pelvic kidney as a cause of May-Thurner syndrome. Trop Doct. 2020 Sep 27;:49475520959917 Authors: Ker J Abstract Deep venous thrombosis is a common clinical problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Since the iconic publication by Virchow in 1856, which placed all known causes of deep venous thrombosis into three groups, namely venous stasis, vascular injury and hypercoagulability, numerous causes have been added to each category. This case report highlights the importance of an anatomical imaging study of the pelvis in cases of recurring, proximal deep venous thrombosis of the lower limb.
