Imaging of Postpartum Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

Figure 1

US and color Doppler US images obtained at first day ((a) and (d)), fourth month ((b) and (e)) and sixth month ((c) and (f)) show an enlarged, tortuous noncompressible tubular structure with hypoechoic material centrally, representing thrombosed right ovarian vein, extending superiorly from the right adnexa, lateral to the IVC (white arrows). With time, the width of the vein decreased. At fourth month, color Doppler US image shows flow with recanalization (e). VCI = vena cava inferior, A = abdominal aorta.
