Sumario:There have been a few reports on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, referred to as May-Thurner syndrome (MTS).

We hereby report a case of DVT associated with MTS in an ALS patient, who was treated successfully.
