DILATATED LEFT OVARIAN VEIN MRV
Normal 3.8 – 5.0 mm Incompetent 7.5 – 10.0 mm
Many diagnosticians rely almost exclusively on vein diameter for diagnosis of OV reflux

WHAT DO WE THINK WE KNOW?
• Approximately one out of three pre-menopausal women suffer from chronic pelvic pain• A significant number of these women have PCS• Ovarian vein incompetence is a major reason for PCS• Multi-parity is a major aggravating factor for incompetent ovarian veins• Men can also suffer from PCS and we know even less about this area• Ultrasound is an underutilized modality for diagnosing PCS

CONCLUSIONS
• PCS is underappreciated and poorly understood• Ovarian vein imaging is very challenging• Gyn centers are well positioned to investigate this area
