Résumé
Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis (POVT) is an uncommon cause of postpartum fever. Because POVT is sometimes complicated by pulmonary embolism, preventing diagnostic delay is critical. Nonetheless, the diagnostic delay of POVT is common due to its rarity. Antibiotics along with anticoagulants are recommended as the standard therapy for POVT, but this recommendation is based on older, low-quality literature. Here, we present a case of POVT, presenting with a persistent postpartum fever, which was treated by anticoagulants without antibiotics. Our case highlights the importance of awareness of POVT as a differential diagnosis and the need for studies to investigate the role of antibiotics in POVT.
