Diagnosis and management of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis
Abstract
A 26-year-old woman experienced persistent fever (39.5°C), chills, and right-lower-quadrant tenderness 3 days after caesarean delivery. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast revealed enlargement of her right ovarian vein with an associated intraluminal filling defect. What is the best treatment of this patient?
