Clinical Characteristics and Management of Ovarian Vein Thrombosis: A Case Series
BACKGROUND: Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is an uncommon condition, occurring in ~1 in every 600–2,000 pregnancies. It is associated with various conditions, including thrombophilia, malignancy, sepsis, intra-abdominal and pelvic inflammatory conditions, pregnancy, and the postpartum period, and spe...

description | BACKGROUND: Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is an uncommon condition, occurring in ~1 in every 600–2,000 pregnancies. It is associated with various conditions, including thrombophilia, malignancy, sepsis, intra-abdominal and pelvic inflammatory conditions, pregnancy, and the postpartum period, and specific surgical interventions, particularly gynecological surgeries. Thus, this study aims to identify the associated factors for OVT and elaborate on the standard treatment strategies for its management. METHODS: Retrospective data collection was used. Our study consists of 18 patients diagnosed with OVT between 2005 and 2016; the data was collected from the Health Information Management system at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia using a standard format. RESULTS: Our study found that OVT involves the right ovarian vein more often than the left and mainly occurs in women during their postpartum period. These patients other associated factor included hypertension, diabetes, and a higher body mass index (BMI) of above 25 kg/m(2). The most frequently presenting complaints were abdominal pain and fever. The most common treatment was the administration of enoxaparin (a low molecular weight heparin) for an average duration of one to three months, which resulted in a low recurrence rate of OVT. CONCLUSIONS: Physicians should be vigilant for suspicion of OVT in female patients presenting with lower abdominal pain and fever in their postpartum period. Additionally, it is suggested to use low molecular weight heparin as initial therapy for OVT for one to three months, resulting in a high remission rate. |
