May-Thurner syndrome in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) are three syndromes that are often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed. The true prevalence of these syndromes may be higher than currently reported. The following case series is the first to report a three-way association between POTS, EDS, and MTS.

Case summary

We describe three patients with concomitant POTS, EDS, and MTS. Although abdominopelvic vasculature evaluation can be difficult via conventional imaging techniques, we present the use of novel dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography with Differential Subsampling with Cartesian Ordering (DISCO) and four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging to aid vasculature evaluation and the d
