ABSTRACT

Flank Pain is a leading indicator of renal and upper urinary tract disease or trauma, and rarely results from pelvic congestion syndrome. Although pelvic congestion syndrome occurs commonly in multi-parous women, pelvic congestion syndrome should also be considered as the cause of flank pain in an adolescent girl. We report the first case of pelvic congestion syndrome presenting with chronic left flank pain in an adolescent girl.

Key words: Chronic flank pain | Pelvic congestion syndrome | Adolescent
