What Is May Thurner Syndrome?
8. Diagnosis
May Thurner syndrome will often not be diagnosed because it causes no symptoms in most cases. If it is suspected, however, then your doctor is likely to perform a physical exam. Knowing your medical history can also be important when it comes to reaching a diagnosis. Further tests will also be needed to diagnose the condition.
A doctor will likely request the use of imaging technology that will help to see the structure of the patient’s blood vessels. This includes CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, and venograms. Non-invasive techniques are performed where possible, but invasive methods might be needed in some cases.
