Case report reveals deep vein thrombosis in a young female with back pain, highlighting urgent care awareness.

This may result in extensive proximal DVT and can lead to serious complications like pulmonary embolism.1 In this study, we present a case of May-Thurner syndrome in a 22-year-old female attending with low back pain and left leg pain, with characteristic CT angiogram findings, to increase its awareness as early diagnosis and treatment can cure the condition and limit complications.
