Abstract

Pelvic congestion syndrome is an underdiagnosed disease, defined as chronic pelvic pain lasting more than 6 months, associated with pelvic varicose veins in premenopausal women. Diagnose is based on imagery after exclusion of other causes of pelvic pains. Echography is first line diagnostic modality. Conservative treatment is often insufficient and pelvic veins embolization is required to improve symptoms.<br />Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêts en relation avec cet article.
