Abstract:
Purpose To investigate the significance of arterial phase display of right ovarian vein (ROV) for patients with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) through multi-slice CT angiography (MSCTA) Materials and Methods Forty-three patients with PCS confirmed clinically who underwent MSCTA were involved in the study. Revascularization was realized via add vessel volume rendering technique and maximum intensity projection (MIP) and the relationships among ROV early development, location of converging vascular, development of LOV and pelvic draining veins were analyzed. Results Out of 43 cases of ROV early development during arterial phase, 21 cases (48.8%) took ROV as draining vein of PCS, among which 17 cases (81.0%) converged into the inferior cava vena. In 19 cases (44.2%), ROV took part in the formation of PCS, all originating from the main right renal vein. Three cases (7.0%) were renal vein-derived PCS, among which two ROV originated from the main right renal vein and one from the branch of the right renal vein. Conclusion According to the imaging features of bilateral ovarian veins and pelvic veins, ROV, as draining veins, is associated with the formation of PCS.
