Postpartum Ovarian Vein Thrombosis : Incidental Diagnosis at Surgery

الملخص EN

Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare clinical entity that may present in the puerperium.

We report the clinical outcomes of two cases of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis, incidentally diagnosed at laparotomy in 16-year-old and 23-year-old females.

They had preoperative diagnosis of torsion tuboovarian mass and twisted pedunculated uterine fibroid, respectively.

Both patients had transection and ligation of right thrombosed ovarian vein.

Postoperative management included a week course of anticoagulant, antibiotics and analgesia.

Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis is a diagnosis of exclusion in the puerperium and a high index of suspicion will reduce associated morbidity and mortality.
