title: [Septic ovarian vein thrombosis--diagnosis and therapy].
abstract: Septic ovarian vein thrombosis is commonly the sequela of puerperal purulent endomyometritis. The incidence has been reported to be 1 in 600-6000 deliveries. The predominant location is the right ovarian vein according to the puerperal uterine drainage. The diagnostic and therapeutic experience in 9 cases is described. The leading symptoms were abdominal pain localized at the psoatic muscle and a tender, barrel-shaped tumor. Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) added in the correct preoperative diagnosis. Antibiotic therapy and anticoagulation are recommended in an uneventful course; in complicated cases surgical intervention becomes mandatory.
