Yunxia Huang et al. J Clin Ultrasound. 2013 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Round ligament varicosities associated with uterine varicosities are rare during pregnancy. We report the case of a pregnant woman with a painful mass in her left groin at 32 weeks' gestation. Ultrasound revealed multiple distended veins within the left round ligament and over the uterus. The patient was treated by close observation and had a vaginal delivery of a healthy baby.

Keywords: pregnancy; round ligament; ultrasound; uterus; varices.
