Abstract:
Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis has been thought to be a rare disease of which clinical finding is not accurate. Most of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis presents as symptoms consisting of fever, lower abdominal pain, abdominal mass. If the symptom does not response even with intravenous antibiotics therapy or diagnosis is inaccurate, a ultrasound or a CT scan should be obtained for diagnosis. We report a case of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis after cesarean section diagnosed and treated, with a brief review of literatures.
