Abstract

We present the case of a 32-year-old female who presented with chronic pelvic pain. On imaging, she was found to have a left renal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and congested pelvic veins. This case underscores the importance of considering renal AVMs in the differential diagnosis of pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) and highlights the utility of ultrasound (USG) and computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing this condition.We present the case of a 32-year-old female who presented with chronic pelvic pain.
