Two personal cases from the pretext for a short discussion on the syndrome defined by Cockett in 1965. The condition is a post-phlebitic syndrome localised to the left common iliac vein. This vein, which is crossed by the right common iliac artery, is in fact the site, at the level of this crossing, of intraluminal and extraluminal lesions whose nature and significance are controversial. The clinical manifestations are those of a severe post-phlebitic syndrome and the classical medical treatments are often inadequate. Surgery can bring about improvement, but its indications must be carefully assessed.

A 57-year-old man presented after a fall, which resulted in acetabular and pelvic fractures. He underwent fracture fixation, which was complicated by iliac vein occlusion, leading to phlegmasia cerulea dolens. He underwent lower extremity surgical venous thrombectomy, contralateral iliac vein stent placement, and modified Palma procedure with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene venous crossover bypass and arteriovenous fistula creation.
