Partial duplication of the left ovarian vein is an extremely rare anatomical variation with significant clinical implications. We report the case of a 52-year-old female with no significant medical history, presenting with a 2-month history of vague upper abdominal pain. A diagnostic abdominal CT scan revealed an incidental finding of partial duplication of the left ovarian vein. The vein was enlarged, measuring 8 mm in diameter, and displayed a unique bifurcation at the lower end of the L4 vertebra, reuniting at the upper endplate of the L3 vertebra. Additionally, a short 4 mm segment connected the duplicated mid-segments. This case underscores the importance of thorough imaging and evaluation in identifying rare vascular anomalies, which can have significant implications for diagnosis and management.
左卵巢静脉部分重复是一种极其罕见的解剖变异，具有重要的临床意义。我们报告一例52岁女性，无重大病史，出现2个月的上腹部隐痛。腹部诊断性CT扫描偶然发现左卵巢静脉部分重复。该静脉增粗，直径达8毫米，在L4椎体下端呈现独特的分叉，在L3椎体上终板处重新汇合。此外，一段4毫米长的短节段连接着重复的中段。该病例强调了在识别罕见血管异常时进行全面影像学检查和评估的重要性，这对诊断和治疗可能具有重大意义。
