Abstract

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Further imaging successfully diagnosed MTS and also identified a cyst arising from the right ovary. Catheter-directed thrombolysis followed by removal of the cyst and the right ovary was performed. Following re-thromboses few days later, the patient underwent further management with surgical thrombectomy with left common iliac vein stenting and IVC filter placement. IJCRI publishes Review Conclusion:The present case identifies an unusual presentation of a previously undiagnosed MTS in an adolescent female. In this case, anticoagulation alone was found to be ineffective and required the assistance of endovascular intervention.
