Abstract:
:The risk of venous thromboembolism increases during pregnancy and postpartum. The incidence in the first six weeks following delivery is approximately 0.15%. Deep vein thrombosis may present with acute appendicitis-like symptoms such as right iliac fossa pain, nausea and vomiting. A 22-year-old woman was admitted with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting 20 days after spontaneous vaginal delivery. Physical examination and radiological findings were compatible with acute appendicitis. Preoperative re-examination and re-evaluation of computed tomography revealed concomitant deep vein thrombosis on the right side. The patient underwent laparotomy and a normal appendix and ovaries were found. She had an uneventful recovery. Anticoagulant treatment was administered for six months. Early and correct diagnosis should be established to avoid complications of deep vein thrombosis and prevent unnecessary surgical interventions. Physicians should be aware of deep vein thrombosis in women who present acute appendicitis-like symptoms, especially during pregnancy and in the postpartum period.
