RIGHT OVARIAN VEIN THROMBOSIS (OVT). A RARE PRESENTATION OF ABDOMINAL PAIN
Keyword(s):
Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare condition occurring in 1/600 to 1/2000 pregnancies mainly in the postpartum setting[1,2]. However,it is a potentially life-threatening condition andcan occur in other circumstances, such as inflammatory diseases of the pelvis, gynecological tumors, after pelvic surgery, during sepsis, hypercoagulable state, or even sometimes without an underlying cause [2]. It is usually manifested by nonspecific abdominal pain, with or without fever, and must be recognized because of its potentially serious complications (pulmonary embolism) [2,5]. Currently, the diagnosis is done earlier thanks to imaging techniques making the prognosis better[3,4].
