title: [The ovarian vein syndrome. Its treatment by percutaneous embolization and a review of the same].
abstract: Since Clark first described the ovarian vein syndrome in 1964, there has been much controversy over its existence. We report two cases of ovarian vein syndrome whose presenting feature was lumbar pain. Following treatment by percutaneous coil embolization of the corresponding ovarian vein, the symptoms rapidly improved and the patients are asymptomatic at 8 and 21 months follow up. We underscore the importance of symptomatic relief over the radiologic findings. The most important aspects and controversies of this syndrome are briefly reviewed.
