ABSTRACT
The authors report the clinical case of a young woman with thrombophlebitis of the right ovarian vein following delivery by caesarean section, initially presenting in the form of renal colic. In the light of a review of the literature, they recall the pathophysiological mechanisms of ovarian thrombophlebitis and the various features observed on imaging examinations. The most frequent clinical features are also described. The authors emphasize the potential, but rare severity of this disease, characterized by the risk of pulmonary embolism, and its treatment, which is usually medical.
