Sažetak
Objective and importance: Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare condition usually seen in the puerperium. The incidence is 0.05–0.18% of pregnancies. Possible complications of ovarian vein thrombosis are sepsis, thrombus extension into the inferior vena cava or renal veins and pulmonary embolism. Clinical presentation: A 31-year-old puerpera complained about abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant and right inguinal region. Intervention: Ultrasonographic examination and multislice computed tomography (MSCT) revealed the right ovarian vein thrombosis. Patient was treated with low- molecular weight heparin and antibiotics for 2 weeks. She was discharged with oral anticoagulants for 6 months. Conclusion: Ovarian vein thrombosis should be taken under consideration in the post-partum period.
