We present a case of pelvic venous congestion in a 13-year-old girl who complained of pelvic pain for 9 months. The diagnosis of pelvic congestion syndrome was suggested by imaging modalities, including sonography, CT and MRI, with classically described imaging findings. The girl underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, where visual inspection demonstrated congested pelvic veins and endometriosis. After removal of endometrial implants, the child's pain persisted and she subsequently underwent venography and embolization of the ovarian veins. We found no literature describing pelvic venous congestion (PVC) in children. Knowledge that PVC exists in children is important, particularly for pediatric radiologists who are imaging patients with complaints of pelvic pain.
我们报告了一例 13 岁女孩的盆腔静脉淤血病例，该女孩主诉盆腔疼痛 9 个月。影像学检查（包括超声、CT 和 MRI）提示盆腔淤血综合征，具有典型的影像学表现。该女孩接受了诊断性腹腔镜检查，检查中发现盆腔静脉淤血和子宫内膜异位症。子宫内膜异位症病灶切除后，患儿疼痛持续存在，随后进行了卵巢静脉血管造影和栓塞。我们未发现描述儿童盆腔静脉淤血（PVC）的文献。了解儿童存在 PVC 很重要，特别是对于影像学检查盆腔疼痛患者的儿科放射科医生而言。
