Left Common Iliac Vein Stenting in a Case of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome/Pelvic Pain Overlap.

This case study outlines the overlap between Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and pelvic pain, highlighting a 22-year-old female patient experiencing severe POTS symptoms accompanied by pelvic pain. The study emphasizes the importance of considering potential comorbid conditions, such as May-Thurner syndrome, which was identified through a vascular ultrasound revealing compression of the left common iliac vein. Treatment with venous stenting resulted in significant systemic symptom relief, suggesting that addressing vascular anomalies can be crucial in managing POTS symptoms. The report sheds light on the need for comprehensive diagnostic evaluations in POTS patients presenting atypical symptoms to tailor effective treatments.
