[The syndrome of compression of the left iliac vein at the promontory level; a new, serious anatomo-clinical entity?].
A new case of pseudo-Cockett syndrome is reported. Both the clinical picture and the anatomic characteristics were unusual. Apparently, no similar cases have been reported in the medical literature. The relation between the cause of venous compression and it's results (thrombosis upstream and embolism downstream) could not be stated from data reviewed in the literature. No well-defined plan of management has been described. However, in the case reported here, therapeutic decisions gave satisfactory results.
