RESUMO
Ovarian vein thrombosis in non-pregnant patient is a rare clinical entity. Among 170 patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in our hospital from December 2011 to December 2015, we have one case of ovarian vein thrombosis (0.0059%). A 42-year-oId woman had a fever of 39 °C on the fourth day after TLH. A blood test revealed elevations of liver enzymes and D-dimer (AST 1157 U/L, ALT 942 U/L and D-dimer >30 µg/L). Computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous contrast agent demonstrated right ovarian vein thrombosis which caused decline in blood flow to liver and acute liver dysfunction. Low-molecular weight heparin was initiated and liver enzymes reduced rapidly. On the seventeenth day after TLH, CT scan revealed a recanalization of the ovarian vein. We report the clinical outcomes of the case attempted with a small review of the literature.
