This study reports the case of a 53-year-old postmenopausal woman and explores her unique experience with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS). PCS is a relatively newly recognized entity and is still a diagnosis of exclusion. We analyze the presenting symptoms and imaging findings on CT and ultrasonography. We also examine the potential causes of this ambiguous prognosis. This case is unusual in that PCS usually presents in premenopausal rather than postmenopausal women.
本研究报告了一名53岁绝经后女性的病例,并探讨了她患盆腔充血综合征(PCS)的独特经历。PCS是一种相对较新认识到的病症,目前仍需排除其他诊断才能确诊。我们分析了CT和超声检查的症状表现及影像学结果。我们还研究了这种预后不明确的潜在原因。该病例不同寻常之处在于,PCS通常发生在绝经前而非绝经后女性身上。
