Radiological Diagnosis of Thrombophlebitis of the Right Ovarian Vein: A Case Report

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare condition usually occurring in the postpartum period. Its incidence outside the postpartum period is not known. We reported a case of a 23-year-old patient at Amath DANSOKHO National Hospital Center in Kédougou, Senegal, she had no particular gestational history, she was non-febrile with overall negative laboratory tests apart a C-reactive protein (CRP) that was twice as high as normal. The abdominal CT scan made led to the diagnosis of thrombophlebitis of the right ovarian vein on probable pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatment combining anticoagulant, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory improved the clinical sign.
