Postpartum Ovarian Vein Thrombosis Due to COVID-19 in Pregnancy: A Case Report

Ahmet Beyazıt et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

Ovarian vein thrombosis is a clinic condition that is generally seen in the postpartum period and can mimic acute appendicitis with acute abdomen. The incidence of occurrence has increased further in cases predisposing to thrombosis. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during pregnancy causes increased thromboembolic events. Here we examined a case of ovarian vein thrombosis after stopping enoxoparin in a postpartum patient who had COVID-19 during pregnancy.

Keywords: covid-19; enoxoparin; ovarian vein thrombosis; postpartum fever; pregnancy.
