We present the case of a 12-year-old girl with a history of vascular anomalies in the lower pelvic limbs and back, who developed unilateral deep vein thrombosis of the left lower limb after her pubertal development, she was diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome with an abnormal venous drainage of the pelvic structures through the superior hemorrhoidal veins to the inferior mesenteric vein towards the porta system, this being a chronic manifestation. This kind of behavior has not been documented in the reviewed medical literature. Secondarily, balloon angioplasty was performed without breaking the stenotic ring. As a second attempt, it was decided to place the venous stent, with satisfactory resolution of the symptoms. There are controversies about the indications for the use of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents, or the indications to place a venous stent in children. We must consider an approach to for effective therapeutic treatment in these cases is to control bleeding, the main goal being trying to avoid ulcerations in the lower limb due to venous insufficiency with irreversible affectation of the valvular system.

To retrospectivly investigate the short-term clinical outcomes of one-stop and two-staged endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) procedures for treatment of varicose veins (VVs) and iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). In this study, 424 patients were treated for VVs and IVCS from June 2017 to June 2020, 91 underwent one-stop stent angioplasty (SA) and EVLA, 132 underwent two-staged SA and EVLA, 104 underwent one-stop balloon angioplasty (BA) and EVLA, and 97 underwent two-staged BA and EVLA. Clinical outcomes and complications were recorded at 3 and 12 months post-intervention.

Both veins experienced significant compression - OLCIV proximally and ILCIV medially - due to the overlying right common iliac artery (RCIA) and lumbar spine. The patient presented with bilateral spider veins, lower extremity swelling, pelvic discomfort, and bilateral leg cramping.

May-Thurner syndrome, also known as external iliac compression syndrome, is a rare but commonly underdiagnosed cause of asymmetric lower extremity edema. Here we describe a case of May-Thurner syndrome owing to external compression of the right and left common iliac veins presenting as chronic worsening asymmetric right greater than left lower extremity edema. Initial etiology workup was unremarkable, and further diagnostics revealed compression of the right common iliac vein at the bifurcation of the right common iliac artery between the right external and internal iliac arteries with concomitant compression of the left common iliac vein.

May-Thurner syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the right common iliac artery overlies and compresses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar spine with or without iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The majority of cases are female and have been associated with the development of vulvar varicosities, particularly during pregnancy. Interestingly and very rarely, this condition has also been identified as a potential cause of varicoceles in males.

Article Synopsis
- Glofitamab, a bispecific antibody targeting CD20 and CD3, shows promise for treating relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) in heavily pretreated patients, with an overall response rate of 47%.
- In a study involving 70 patients in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the median number of prior treatments was four, with notable safety concerns including cytokine release syndrome in 40% of cases.
- Important findings indicate that elevated LDH levels predict poorer outcomes, and recent treatment with bendamustine may reduce the efficacy of glofitamab, suggesting careful treatment sequencing is essential.
