Fig. 6E. Physiologic hydronephrosis of pregnancy and enlarged right
ovarian vein in 24-year-old woman at 36 weeks' gestation who presented with
abdominal pain just superior to and right of her umbilicus. Color Doppler
sonogram shows dilated ovarian vein. This structure should be recognized as
normal variant during pregnancy and may contribute to renal dilatation in
pregnant women. Whether this finding is associated with pelvic pain is
unclear.
