Unusual Ovarian Vein Thrombosis Associated with Urinary Tract Infection: A Case Report

Abstract

Teaching Point: Radiologists need to be familiar with that ovarian vein thrombosis can occur as a complication of urinary tract infection. Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare disease in which a majority of cases occur during the postpartum period. There are few case reports for ovarian vein thrombosis associated with urinary tract infection in non-postpartum women. We report a case of ovarian vein thrombosis incidentally diagnosed on computed tomography in a patient with symptoms of urinary tract infection.
