- Ovarian vein syndrome (OVS)
Ovarian vein syndrome is a relatively rare condition where a dilated ovarian vein (ovarian venous varix) causes notching, dilatation, or obstruction of the ureter. This is usually secondary to varicosities of the ovarian vein or ovarian vein thrombosis and occurs at the point where the ovarian vein crosses the ureter.
History and etymology
It was first reported in 1964 by Clark 3.
