The paper presents a case of left ovarian thrombophlebitis, clinically manifested from the fifth day of puerperium in a 30-year-old patient. Clinicians should have a high degree of suspicion of rare adnexal thromboembolic events in postpartum period when frequent symptoms (fever, pain) and analytical changes (leukocytosis, increased C-reactive protein) occur in association with the imaging findings of edematous ovary with vascular congestion, even if there are other possible explanations for such a clinical situation.engAbdominal painLeft ovarianVein thrombophlebitisUltrasonographyPost-partumPuerperal/ complicationsMAC OBSjournal articleDOI: 10.36205/trocar2.2023006
