Case report: the ultrasound and Doppler appearances of pelvic varices.
Dilatation of the veins of the broad ligament and ovarian plexi cause a very specific clinical entity called the pelvic congestion or pelvic pain syndrome. The ultrasound and Doppler appearances of this condition are unique and should be easily recognized. We describe these appearances in one patient and review the literature.
