Abstract
Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare postpartum complication. Although infrequent, it may progress to involve the inferior vena cava, the renal vein and it may also cause sepsis and septic pulmonary embolism, all of which are potentially life-threatening. Clinical misdiagnosis is common and unfortunately most affected women undergo laparotomy for suspicion of appendicitis. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of postpartum OVT as acute pyelonephritis.
