“…This condition involves the right vein more commonly than the left. Ovarian vein thrombosis often has a vague and variable presentation, and a high index of suspicion is required to make the diagnosis [8]. Some patients will have nonspecific symptoms, including malaise, vague diffuse abdominal pain, or dyspnea; others will present with fever and lower quadrant pain [9].…”

Severe flank pain is a frequent complaint at the emergency department (ED). It is usually associated to other clinical symptoms like fever, dysuria, vomiting, diarrhea or radiation to the groin. Hereby, it may raise a lot of probable differential diagnosis that should be ruled out first depending on laboratory tests and imaging results. However, when flank pain is isolated and radiating to the groin without evidence of urolithiasis on abdominal CT scan, more rare diagnosis should be suggested such as renal vessels thrombosis with or without other vessel thrombosis in the pelvis. Thereafter, thrombophilic studies should be performed to elucidate the underlying etiology. We present the case of a 44-yearold lady having simultaneously acute left renal and ovarian veins thrombosis presenting to ED for severe isolated left flank pain radiating to the left groin and heterozygous factor V Leiden on thrombophilic studies. We would like to stress on the importance of having a high index of suspicion of such diagnosis at ED based on medical history and primary investigations because a good management may result in salvage of organs by minimally invasive techniques, an early effective treatment and convenient anticoagulation in the future to prevent further complications.

“…Once proadhesive surface of subendothelial matrix appeared, its components, adhesive proteins (von Willebrand factor, collagen, fibrinogen, and so on), are immediately involved in the process of forming a primary (cardio-thrombocytic) thrombus followed by hemocoagulation [53]. In the period of pregnancy, the following factors serve as the basis for phlebothrombosis development: physiological hypercoagulation, increase of blood viscosity, formation of blood stasis in the veins of the pelvis and low extremities together with the changes of hormonal status and topographoanatomical interrelations of the pelvic vessels and organs [54][55][56][57][58][59][60].…”

“…Investigations showed that in 80% of cases the right ovarian vein is thrombosed, damage of both ovarian veins is registered in 14%, and isolated thrombosis of the left ovarian vein in 6% of cases. The occurrence of pulmonary artery embolism with underlying ovarian vein thrombosis varies within 0.15-0.33% with fatal outcomes up to 4% in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism [59][60][61][62][63]. At present, the most commonly used classification of VVP is one recommended by the Russian Association of Phlebologists (2013) [2].…”

Etiopathogenesis and diagnosis of varicose veins of the pelvis or pelvic varicose veins have been considered from the present-day perspective. Despite a high prevalence of this pathology it is still insufficiently explored.One of the main symptoms of the disease is a chronic pain in the lower abdomen lasting over six months and suffered by women of various ages. In the foreign literature, it is commonly called pelvic congestion syndrome, in the Russian literature -varicose veins of the pelvis.Varicose veins of the pelvis can arise due to aplasia or venous valve incompetence, the genetic origin of the illness is confirmed by numerous scientific investigations. The second main cause is venous obstruction. The emergence of the disease is also promoted by the specific anatomy of the venous outflow from the small pelvis: the right ovarian vein opens into the inferior vena cava, and the left ovarian vein to the left renal vein. The normal angle between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery is about 90°, and in case of the angle reduction aorto-mesenteric compression of the renal artery takes place.One of the disease complications is thrombosis of the intrapelvic venous plexuses and the ovarian veins which occurs most commonly in the period of pregnancy or after delivery, and less rarely after various surgical interventions in the small pelvic organs.The knowledge of etiopathogenesis principles will facilitate differential diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain in patients with varicose veins of the pelvis.

“…Eine sehr seltene Ursache für Fieber post partum innerhalb der ersten 7 Tage ist die Ovarialvenenthrombose. Sie findet sich in 0,02 % nach vaginalen Geburten und in 0,1-2 % nach der Sectio caesarea [19]. Hierbei scheint ein Zusammenhang mit einer bakteriellen entzündlichen Reaktion zu bestehen, die in die Adnexe abszediert.…”
