The identification of ovarian arteries on contrast-enhanced MDCT may be difficult because they are smaller than
ovarian veins.
Laparoscopy-assisted left
ovarian vein transposition to treat one case of posterior nutcracker syndrome.
(5) One accepted explanation for the predominant right localization is that the right
ovarian vein has many incompetent valves along its length that may act as a nidus for thrombosis.
Leiomyomas might invade the uterine or
ovarian veins, and can progress into the IVC and right heart16.
What is the significance of
ovarian vein reflux detected by computed tomography in patients with pelvic pain?
The cause of pelvic varicosities is reflux or backward flow of blood in the
ovarian veins due to the absence of functioning valves, which result in retrograde blood flow and eventful venous dilatation.
In addition, a thrombus was identified in the right
ovarian vein and the iliac vein was distended.
Uterine torsion with
ovarian vein rupture in a ewe.
The left
ovarian vein and the cranial border of the left renal vein were the lateral and upper limits of left aortic dissection, respectively.
Treatment of pelvic varicosities causing lower abdominal pain with extraperitoneal resection of the left

Subsequently, an abdominal ultrasound with color-flow Doppler showed a suspicious thrombus distending and occluding the right
ovarian vein with no flow seen on Doppler.
Nurse-led presentations covered a range of topics from complex interventional procedures like embolisation of the
ovarian vein, embolisation of the Vein of Galen, percutaneous aortic valve replacement, stereotactic embolisation and radiation therapy for cerebral aneurysm.
