Abstract Chronic pelvic pain affects approximately one-third of all women and is responsible for about 20% of all gynecological consultations. The authors report a rare case of symptomatic pelvic venous congestion in the presence of duplication of the inferior vena cava and inter-iliac communication through the right hypogastric vein that was treated via an endovascular approach with embolization of varicose pelvic veins. The published literature is reviewed.
