description Objective: We present a case who developed ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) after laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy to share our experience. Case report: A 46-year-old woman came to our hospital due to severe dysmenorrhea induced by adenomyosis. Medical treatments were given but with unsatisfactory effect. As the patient had completed family planning, a hysterectomy was scheduled. However, on the sixth postoperative day, the patient complained of low abdominal pain with fever on and off. After a series of examinations, right OVT was diagnosed. The patient was treated with antibiotics only. Under close surveillance, the OVT resolved spontaneously, and the patient was discharged. Conclusion: Diagnosis of OVT requires highly suspicion owing to its rarity and non-specific presentation. OVT is a potentially serious venous thromboembolism that sometimes can be life threatening. Anticoagulant treatment is still controversial. Conventional Tomography with contrast medium could detect early OVT with high sensitivity and specificity.
