1/18. A case report of acute pelvic thrombophlebitis missed by magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic veins.A 29-year-old woman presented post-natally with pulmonary hypertension. Peripheral venous thrombosis was not detected by duplex ultrasound or conventional MRI. Despite anticoagulation, the patient arrested. autopsy revealed right iliac vein thrombosis. The ability of conventional MRI to detect acute pelvic thrombophlebitis depends on obtaining appropriate views.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/18. Late-onset puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis treated laparoscopically.Puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis is an uncommon condition that usually develops in the immediate postpartum period. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, Doppler ultrasound, and exploratory laparotomy may be performed to diagnose it. A woman developed worsening abdominal pain 6 weeks postpartum. Laparoscopic intervention allowed treatment of late-onset, left-sided puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis. The disorder may develop much later after delivery than expected and can be successfully treated laparoscopically.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/18. A diagnostic dilemma of fever and back pain postpartum.A 26-year-old woman presented with fever, chills, and back pain 6 weeks postpartum. An infused CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with IV contrast confirmed septic pelvic vein thrombophlebitis as the diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing such a massive thrombophlebitis extending from the superior vena cava to the femoral vein inferiorly responsive to conventional anticoagulation therapy. This exceptional case reminds us to entertain septic pelvic thrombophlebitis in the differential of any patient who presents with fever and back pain of unknown etiology.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.6keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/18. pulmonary embolism secondary to puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis.Four cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) secondary to puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis (POVT) were treated surgically during the first semester 1990. Clinical features are described in detail. The diagnosis was made by echotomography in three cases, but the crucial examination was contrast phlebocavography in all the subjects. Ovarian vein ligation, caval thrombectomy and inferior vena cava interruption by DeWeese clip positioning was the operation performed in any cases. Postoperative courses were always uneventful and three to six months follow-up was available. The extensive practice of echotomography during the first week of puerperium could demonstrate that POVT is more frequent than previously thought.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/18. Unusual venous thrombosis associated with protein c deficiency.A patient in whom massive puerperal thrombophlebitis developed had protein c deficiency. In patients who initially have thrombosis that is unusual either in its nature or extent, investigation may, as in this case, reveal the presence of a hypercoagulable state.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/18. diagnosis of puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis by computed tomography.A case of puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis diagnosed by computed tomography is presented. Resolution after treatment with antibiotics and anticoagulation is demonstrated. The obstetrician must be aware of the role of computed tomography in making a prompt and accurate diagnosis in such cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/18. Puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis.A 16 year old Chinese female with puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis following uneventful vaginal delivery is reported. This infrequent, but potentially fatal, complication in the febrile postpartum patient may present as a surgical emergency. Non-invasive diagnostic procedures and conservative treatment with heparinization and antibiotics have been suggested. However, early exploratory laparotomy for ovarian vein or caval ligation may be life-saving if the diagnosis is in doubt or the response to conservative treatment is unsuccessful.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/18. Renal vein thrombosis following puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis.A case of renal vein thrombosis following puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis is reported. We review the syndrome of puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis and emphasize the potential for renal vein and vena caval involvement. The utility of computed tomographic scanning for diagnostic confirmation of this postpartum complication is described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/18. Postpartum thrombophlebitis of the ovarian vein.Puerperal pelvic thrombophlebitis is most commonly found in the ovarian veins. It may be diagnosed by laparotomy, but it should be suspected clinically when symptoms develop two to five days after delivery. If medical treatment with antibiotics, anticoagulants, and bed rest is unsuccessful, surgical intervention with ligation or removal of ovarian veins may be necessary.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/18. The diagnosis of puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis by computed axial tomography scan.The diagnosis of puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis by computed axial tomography (CAT) scan is reported. The characteristic finding, ie, a soft tissue mass with a diameter of 2 cm and length of 14 cm, extending from the uterine cornua to the level of the renal vein, can be seen by CAT scan. The near total resolution of the mass on follow-up CAT scan confirmed successful treatment with antibiotics and heparin. observation of these findings will allow future cases to be definitively diagnosed and treated without invasive procedures.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombophlebitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
