Abstract:
:Ovarian vein thrombophlebitis is often misdiagnosed because of vague symptoms leading to unnecessary surgery, morbidity, and mortality. CT findings in such a case are very useful in making a definite diagnosis of ovarian vein thrombophlebitis. We consider CT the preferred method for evaluating pain in the right lower quadrant associated with a mass in the postpartum patient.
