Abstract

Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is a chronic condition that mainly affects female. We report a case of long-standing chronic lower abdominal pain caused by pelvic congestion syndrome, which is often underdiagnosed, and discuss the imaging findings. The patient was treated endovascularly with an IUD and lipiodol glue
