    Spontaneous iliac vein rupture (SIVR) is a rare but life-threatening condition with a 22% mortality rate, primarily affecting middle-aged women.

  • 2

    SIVR often involves the left iliac vein and is frequently complicated by lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

  • 3

    The case study presented a 60-year-old female with SIVR and DVT, diagnosed through abdominal CT and venography.

  • 4

    Endovascular treatment, including stent implantation and catheter-directed thrombolysis, successfully resolved the rupture and thrombus.

  • 5

    Improved clinical awareness and standardized diagnostic pathways are crucial for timely management of SIVR to reduce misdiagnosis and delays.
