The latest thing being marketed to people with ME by Drs Ruhoy and Kaufman.. abdominal compression syndromes or iliac vein compression. Seems like lots of hospitals happy to diagnose based on MRIs and stent patients. Reports of no effect on symptoms and sometimes pain from stents.

I googled Compression Syndrome but only came up with Compartment Syndrome

Compartment Syndrome:
Compartment syndrome is a condition in which increased pressure within one of the body's anatomical compartments results in insufficient blood supply to tissue within that space. There are two main types: acute and chronic. Compartments of the leg or arm are most commonly involved

Are they the same thing?

 

No. A compartment syndrome is where a body compartment has an enclosing structure that fixes its maximum volume. The common example is a muscle compartment bounded by a non-stretchable epimysium or fascia. If the tissue swells new blood cannot get in at all. A compression syndrome is where a band or bar presses on a vessel and stops normal flow.
