Left ovarian vein dilation or pelvic congestion syndrome secondary to abdominal aortic dissection: incidental findings on CT angiography.
Clinical Imaging 2015 May
BACKGROUND: In the study, we describe eight cases in which pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) was a direct complication of abdominal aortic dissection (AD).
METHODS: We recorded computed tomographic (CT) details of the AD and PCS. The patterns of pelvic varices and reflux were identified as well.
RESULTS: All eight had abdominal AD (diameter, 23.44-33.98 mm). The compressed left renal vein revealed stenosis in situ (diameter, 1.17-2.69 mm). CT also revealed dilation of left ovarian vein with left pelvic varices in all cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Some cases of PCS and dilation of the left ovarian vein can be directly correlated with abdominal AD.
