Abstract:
We describe imaging findings and interventional therapy of a 37-year old female patient suffering from chronic pelvic pain with associated vulvar varicosis. MR-angiography showed multiple varices in the left hemi-pelvis, a dilated draining vein from the left ovary as well as a left-sided vulvar varicosis, which was clinically evident. In addition, the MRI suggested insufficiency of the great saphenous vein with varicosis of its tributaries. After crossectomy and infragenual stripping of the great saphenous vein, we proceeded with a left phlebectomy and ligation of the supplying veins. Due to post-operative persistence of the vulvar varicosis the patient underwent coil-embolisation and liquid sclerotherapy (Aethoxysklerol) of the varicose pelvic veins and the left ovarian vein with good results.
