Kaohsiung J Med Sci. 2003 Nov;19(11):569-73. doi: 10.1016/S1607-551X(09)70508-X.

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.
