title: Computed tomographic diagnosis of dilated ovarian veins in a case of "ovarian vein syndrome".
abstract: Ovarian vein dilatation in the so called "ovarian vein syndrome" is classically demonstrated by selective phlebography. The diagnostic value of computed tomography as a non invasive alternative for selective phlebography in a case of ovarian vein syndrome is reported. A definition of the ovarian vein syndrome and a personal view on the pathogenesis of this syndrome are given.
