Obstetrics & Gynecology: August 1969 - Volume 34 - Issue 2 - p 194-199 Free Abstract Studies of the venous pattern of the uterus and adnexa by means of an opaque medium injected into the myometrium through an intracavity needle delineate the outline of tumors too small to be identified otherwise, clarifies symptom- producing disorders of the pelvic circulation, and illustrates the course of aberrant veins. The last is especially valuable in demonstrating ureteral compression from an abnormally located right ovarian vein, a anatomic alteration that may create hydroureter and hydronephrosis. The method and illustrative case reports are detailed. © 1969 The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
