Abstract
SINCE the early descriptions and considerations of Virchow, Hunter and Welch an extensive literature has been accumulated regarding thrombophlebitis and its related disorders.1 De Bakey,2 in 1954, listed more than 400 references in his review of thrombophlebitis. The diagnosis of the disease, the risks from embolism and the varieties of therapeutic regimens are well known. Less well known is the entity of septic pelvic thrombophlebitis. The disorder is relatively uncommon, and in our experience the diagnosis has been overlooked in many patients for inordinate periods.The purpose of this report is to review a particular form of septic pelvic thrombophlebitis . . .
