Ovarian vein thrombosis in a postpartum female: A case report.

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT), while uncommon, is a serious complication that can arise from pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, oncological conditions, and pelvic surgeries. Here we discuss a case of a 37-year-old woman who, during her postpartum period, experienced lower abdominal pain and fever. Utilizing imaging findings, she was ultimately diagnosed with right ovarian vein thrombosis. The puerperium represents a hypercoagulable state, heightening the risk of OVT, particularly following a cesarean section. Despite its rarity, OVT should invariably be considered in the differential diagnosis when evaluating patients who present with postpartum abdominal pain and/or fever.
