Abstract EN
Background: Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) commonly occurs during the peripartum and postpartum period.
However, few cases of idiopathic OVT unrelated to pregnancy have been described.
Case report: We report a case of a previously healthy, 32-year-old female who presented with chronic right-sided abdominal pain.
Abdominal and pelvic gadolinium-enhanced MRI showed a right OVT.
The patient was not in the peripartum or postpartum period.
Thrombophilia test results were negative, and no risk factors for thrombosis were noted.
The patient received warfarin for 6 months, with resolution of her symptoms Conclusion: The presented case emphasizes the significance of considering OVT as a cause of unexplained abdominal pain in a young female.
We describe a rare case of idiopathic OVT with a unique presentation.
