We describe imaging findings and interventional therapy of a 37-year old female patient suffering from chronic pelvic pain with associated vulvar varicosis. MR-angiography showed multiple varices in the left hemi-pelvis, a dilated draining vein from the left ovary as well as a left-sided vulvar varicosis, which was clinically evident. In addition, the MRI suggested insufficiency of the great saphenous vein with varicosis of its tributaries. After crossectomy and infragenual stripping of the great saphenous vein, we proceeded with a left phlebectomy and ligation of the supplying veins. Due to post-operative persistence of the vulvar varicosis the patient underwent coil-embolisation and liquid sclerotherapy (Aethoxysklerol) of the varicose pelvic veins and the left ovarian vein with good results.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and clinical outcomes of percutaneous sclerotherapy of venous disorders of the labia majora in patients with vascular malformations of the lower limbs.
Methods: Thirty percutaneous sclerotherapy treatments were performed over a 6-year period among 17 female patients with symptomatic venous malformation (VM) or secondary varicosis of the labia majora. Four patients were treated with sclerotherapy alone, 13 patients had additional procedures to control the VM before sclerotherapy.
A therapeutic option in nutcracker syndrome and ovarian vein insufficiency.

April 2014
Vein Clinic Bellevue, 8280 Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.
Objectives: The nutcracker syndrome (NS) may lead to insufficient perirenal collaterals as well as incompetence of the left ovarian vein with consecutive ovarian vein insufficiency.
Methods: A female patient with NS and severe genital varicosis was treated with dilation of the renal vein and coiling of a left perirenal collateral vein feeding an insufficient left ovarian vein (LOV) with pelvic vein varicosity.
Results: In re-evaluation 18 month later with left renal vein (LRV) and LOV phlebography, a widely patent LRV was found.

Objective: Vulvar hemangioma is an extremely rare pathology in adult women causing sexual dysfunction, pain, and cosmetic problems requiring therapeutic intervention.
Materials And Methods: We present a case of an isolated giant vulvar cavernous hemangioma with a 2-year history that macroscopically seemed to be a vulvar varicosis but was actually detected at the end to be cavernous hemangioma in an adult patient with no history of other disease.
Results: The patient was treated with surgical excision because of progressive complaints.
