Abstract
Ovarian vein syndrome is a rare condition involving the compression of the ureter by the ovarian vein. Since it was first described, very few cases have been reported in literature. We present a case of a 37-year-old female with typical symptoms and common right-side involvement. The imaging findings on ultrasound, CT, and nuclear medicine imaging are classic for her condition.
