Abstract
We report a case of an adolescent who presented with a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and clinical findings consistent with May–Thurner Syndrome. Specific imaging demonstrated direct compression of the left common iliac vein by an overlying pelvic kidney. The patient's history and clinical presentation is detailed. The discussion focuses on the potential implications for care and management of a patient with an ectopic left pelvic kidney.
