title: Pelvic congestion syndrome--findings on multi-detector row computerized tomography: a case report.
abstract: Chronic pelvic pain is a common gynecologic complaint, sometimes without any obvious etiology. We report a case of pelvic congestion syndrome with chronic pelvic pain. The diagnosis can be overlooked by clinical physicians but diagnosed using multi-detector row computerized tomography. This method seems to be an effective and non-invasive imaging modality.
