  • Ovarian Vein Thrombosis: causes
    - Pelvic inflammatory disease
    - In oncology patients
    - Complication of pelvic surgery
    - Clinical symptoms range from vague pain to PE, sepsis or even death
  • Ovarian Vein: Facts
    - Right ovarian vein drains into the IVC
    - Left ovarian vein drains into the left renal vein
    - Ovarian veins are 3-4 mm in size
    - Ovarian vein is usually anterior to the ureter
  • "Volume-rendered images and curved planar reformatted images can be used to show the ovarian veins. MDCT findings allow the diagnosis of various ovarian vein disorders in patients with abdominal and pelvic pain, pulmonary thromboembolism, and pelvic mass."
