Ovarian vein thrombosis is an uncommon life threatening postpartum complication. This septic thrombophlebitis may have a vague clinical picture which has to be promptly thought of in any woman with spiking fever, abdomen pain and raised total count especially in the puerperal period. We report a case of a thirty one year old lady in whom this condition was recognized with clinical acumen, computed tomography and Doppler sonography. Thrombolysis was the modality of treatment thereby avoiding the potential complications.Metrics
