Imaging of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis.
Abstract
Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare but serious complication. Clinical findings of OVT are nonspecific.
Postpartum OVT, which is a clinically difficultly diagnosed entity, must be thought of in differential diagnosis in cases of
postpartum acute abdomen. OVT can be accurately diagnosed by appropriate noninvasive radiologic modalities to start early
therapy with anticoagulants and intravenous antibiotics. In this paper, we review the imaging findings of a case with postpartum
ovarian vein thrombosis that had been followed up for 6 months by ultrasonography (US), color Doppler US, computed
tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
