[Left ovarian vein syndrome].
Ovarian vein syndrome is classically described on the right side. Patients present with lumbar pain or renal colics due to a compression of the ureter between the external iliac artery and a dilated ovarian vein. We report an unusual case of left ovarian vein syndrome between a dilated ovarian vein and the psoas muscle, with a similar clinical presentation.
