ABSTRACT: Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare thrombotic
condition commonly attributed to
the puerperium. The complications of OVT can be significant, and
diagnosis relies on a high clinical index of suspicion. It can occur with lower quadrant pain
that may mimic a surgical abdomen, especially in the setting of recent
pregnancy, abdominal surgery, inflammatory disease, or malignancy. Diagnosis can be made with confidence using
ultrasound, computed tomography, or
magnetic resonance imaging. Management of OVT is particularly important in postpartum patients, with
anticoagulation therapy being the treatment of choice.
