Abstract

Reflux into the left ovarian vein is seen up into the contralateral ovarian plexus by passing through the dilated parauterine and uterine veins. This CT finding is common in asymptomatic multiparous women. Narrowing of the LRV at its aortomesenteric portion can be one of the causes of such reflux.
