Abstract
We intend to show the MDCT findings of normal ovarian (gonadal) vein anatomy and associated disorders, including the "ovarian vascular pedicle" sign, phlebolith, reflux, pelvic congestion syndrome, thrombosis, stenosis, and occlusion. Volume-rendered images and curved planar reformatted images can be used to show the ovarian veins. MDCT findings allow the diagnosis of various ovarian vein disorders in patients with abdominal and pelvic pain, pulmonary thromboembolism, and pelvic mass.
