Abstract

Puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis is a condition which usually presents as a syndrome consisting of lower abdominal pain, fever, and a characteristic abdominal mass. This syndrome occurs in about 0.18 per cent of puerperas, usually has its onset in the first week postpartum, and is usually best treated with anticoagulants and antibiotics. It occurs more often on the right than on the left. We offer a theory to explain the etiology of this condition and its dextropreponderance.
