1Department of Radiodiagnosis, St Johns Medical College, Bangalore, India.
Abstract:
Varicocities of the round ligament is a relatively uncommon condition. Almost all the cases in literature had been reported in pregnant patients.

We present a 22-year-old primigravida at 30 weeks of gestation with unilateral round ligament varicocele diagnosed on sonography and Doppler, who was managed conservatively.
