Abstract
Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder most often diagnosed in the peripartum period and maybe associated with other risk factors for thrombosis. Rarely, OVT is considered idiopathic. It occurs in the right ovarian vein alone in two-thirds of patients. In this report, we present a case of idiopathic and bilateral OVT in a 35-year-old woman who presented with 2-day history of left flank pain. Duplex ultrasound imaging and computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis. Oral anticoagulation achieved a favorable outcome.Entities:
