Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

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.

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

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].

Abstract Background: Nonpuerperal ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare clinical entity. Therapy is not well defined. OVT is usually asymptomatic. Improved CT and MR imaging technology enables OVT to be diagnosed with greater frequency. Nonpuerperal OVT may be a distinct clinical entity. Methods: The medical records of women with nonpuerperal OVT were reviewed and their clinical course and treatment recorded. Cases were identified by scanning a CT computerized database over the past 3 years with the key words ovarian vein thrombosis. Results: 7 patients (pts) were identified. Age range was 38–61, median 51 years. 3 pts had OVT on the left and 4 on the right. OVT followed a procedure in 2 pts. 2 pts with breast cancer developed OVT, 1 during adjuvant tamoxifen and 1 receiving chemotherapy for metastatic disease. 1 pt had AML in CR. 3 pts presented with lower abdominal pain on the involved side and 1 pt had lower abdominal pain on the opposite side. The 3 pts with cancer were asymptomatic. 4 pts had uterine fibroids. 1 developed OVT in the setting of an acute diarrheal illness. 1 pt had prior DVT and 1 a family history of DVT. Only 1 pt had a hypercoagulable evaluation; negative. 2 pts had clot extending to the junction with the inferior vena cava (IVC) and both were anticoagulated with enoxaparin followed by warfarin. 1 pt was anticoagulated with enoxaparin alone. No embolic complications occurred. Conclusion: 4 pts with OVT were symptomatic and 3 were detected incidentally. 2 developed OVT following procedures, 3 had predisposing underlying conditions, and 2 had a personal or family history of thrombosis. Optimum therapy is not defined. Symptomatic disease alone is not an indication for anticoagulation. Anticoagulation may be indicated if clot extends to the IVC.

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.

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

A healthy 38-year-old woman, with no significant medical or surgical history, was referred to the gynaecology emergency department with acute low quadrant abdominal pain and nausea. On examination, painful palpation of right iliac fossa, abdominal guarding and positive Blumberg’s sign were noted. An abdominal-pelvic CT scan showed a hypodense tubular structure with peripheral enhancement to the right of the inferior vena cava, suggestive of thrombosis of the right ovarian vein. The only risk factor identified was the use of the combined contraceptive pill.

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare cause of abdominal pain, is an entity most commonly diagnosed after pregnancy. It is also associated with gynecological malignancies, caesarean deliveries, abortions, hypercoagulability and pelvic inflammatory disease. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is warranted to avoid serious complications [1]. We report the rare case of idiopathic ovarian right vein thrombosis.
