title: [Sonographic visualization of the left ovarian vein. A contribution to the diagnosis of compression syndrome of the left renal vein].
abstract: Amongst 737 sonographic and CT examinations of women aged 18 to 60 years of age, seven cases of ectasia of the left ovarian vein were found (0.95%). The aetiology and significance of this finding in the context of the "compression syndrome of the left renal vein" are discussed. The value to sonography in elucidating this condition is stressed.
