Intraluminal iliac venous calcification.

G A Goodman

    The British Journal of Radiology
    |June 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bilateral intraluminal iliac venous calcifications are rare, affecting elderly women with prior pelvic surgery and venous disease. These unique cases, documented via venography, highlight a potential complication of gynecologic procedures and childbirth.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Peripheral venous disease and history of gynecologic surgery are common in elderly multiparous females.
    • Intraluminal venous calcifications are an uncommon finding in vascular imaging.
    • Iliac vein thrombosis can lead to significant morbidity.

    Observation:

    • Two elderly multiparous female patients presented with bilateral intraluminal iliac venous calcifications.
    • Both patients had a history of long-standing peripheral venous disease and prior gynecologic surgery.
    • Venography confirmed the presence of intraluminal calcifications within the iliac veins.

    Findings:

    • These represent the first reported cases of bilateral intraluminal iliac venous calcifications in the English literature in 25 years.

  • The calcifications are hypothesized to be related to pelvic surgery or childbirth.
  • This is the only recent documented case worldwide featuring venography.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights a rare but potentially significant complication of pelvic surgery and childbirth.
    • Emphasizes the importance of comprehensive vascular assessment in patients with relevant surgical history.
    • Suggests further investigation into the pathogenesis and clinical significance of intraluminal venous calcifications.
