Ovarian vein thrombosis is rare, but a life-threatening condition.
It is rarer in non-pregnant women and in patients without history of recent pelvic surgery as the case in our patients.
The most commonly involved vein is the right ovarian vein, although in our case the left ovarian vein was affected.
Diagnosis of ovarian vein thrombosis can be by CT scan or MRI but the initial modality should be doppler ultrasound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
