Transverse mobility of pelvic kidney causing left lower extremity deep venous thrombosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of May-Thurner-like syndrome was found to be a result of a pelvic kidney compressing the left common iliac vein. Cross-sectional imaging demonstrated transverse mobility of the pelvic kidney which has not been described previously. The ectopic kidney's mobility resulted in intermittent venous compression. In a patient with recurrent lower extremity deep venous thrombosis and a pelvic kidney, the possibility of movement of the kidney resulting in venous compression needs to be considered.

متن کاملDiagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
Recent clinical studies have shed new light on the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism. Pulmonary embolism continues to be difficult to diagnose because the definitive test, pulmonary angiography, is complex and not widely available. However, new knowledge about ventilation perfusion lung scanning and non-invasive leg studies can help to reduce the need for pulmonary angiography. Furthermore, t...
