Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Abstract Objectives Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis (POVT) is a rare pathology that can lead to severe complications such as sepsis, extension of the thrombus leading to organ failure, and pulmonary embolism. It therefore requires early recognition and prompt treatment. Case presentation A patient with right POVT presented four days after delivery with acute right-sided abdominal pain and fever. Appendicitis was initially considered, before an abdominal-pelvic computed tomography raised the suspicion of POVT, subsequently confirmed through transabdominal ultrasound. Antibiotics and anticoagulation were initiated, with rapid clinical improvement and complete resolution of the thrombus three months later. Conclusions Diagnosing POVT is challenging as it clinically mimics other more frequent conditions. It is rare but life-threatening and should be considered in all females presenting with abdominal pain and fever in the postpartum period.

A clinical case of thrombosis of the right ovarian vein in the postpartum period - an extremely rare pathology in which acute appendicitis is often suspected due to the identity of the symptoms of the diseases. Performed laparoscopy, during which a large fragment of a thrombosed vein was excised. Conclusion. Extensive right ovarian vein thrombosis with a normal hemostasiogram could not only not be resolved by anticoagulants, but also potentially spread to the renal veins and inferior vena cava, increasing the risk of pulmonary embolism. Key words: vein dissection, laparoscopy, postpartum period, ovarian vein thrombosis
