Resumo

The female varicocile is associated to the pelvic congestion syndrome that is described. Five patients 31 to 52 years old are presented. Four of them have continuous pelvic pain and the fifth had huge vaginal and vulvar varices. Flebography of the left ovarian vein showed retrograde flux of the dilated vein. Sclerotherapy with Aethoxysklerol 3% was performed. There was an immediate relief of symptoms. During the follow up period between 9 and 12 months the five patients were asymptomatic. There are publications of embolization of the ovarian vein, however the present cases are the first ones in which the selective Sclerotherapy was the only treatment used with good results.
