(a) Septic deep vein thrombosis of the right ovarian vein with extension into the inferior vena cava. Dilation of the right ovarian vein, with a filling defect and air bubble, is seen in the proximal right ovarian vein, surrounded by fat stranding (lower arrow). This filling defect extends into the IVC at the level of the renal veins (upper arrow). These findings are consistent with septic deep thrombophlebitis of the proximal right ovarian vein with extension into the IVC. (b) 2.5 months later, there has been a complete resolution of septic thrombophlebitis of the right ovarian vein.

After hemodynamic stabilization with intravenous fluids, a computed tomography (CT) of abdomen and pelvis with contrast was performed and it demonstrated a septic deep venous thrombosis of the ovarian vein with extension into the inferior vena cava (IVC), seen in Figure 1(a). A repeated CT two and a half months later showed a complete resolution of the septic thrombophlebitis of the right ovarian vein and IVC, Figure 1(b).
