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.

This is a unique case of a 22-year-old man who had a varicocele secondary to May-Thurner syndrome, successfully treated through endovascular embolization.
