The diagnosis of puerperal ovarian venous thrombophlebitis (POVT) is problematic, not only because of the low and variable incidence (1:600-6000 births), but also because there are no characteristic clinical symptoms. So far, therefore in 80% of cases it has been diagnosed by exploratory laparatomy. Early non-invasive diagnostic procedures must be aimed at, because surgical intervention involves a high rate of complications and uncomplicated cases can be treated by conservative methods (broad-spectrum antibiotics and anti-coagulants). Several case reports refer to the possibility of recognizing POVT by real-time ultrasound (US) and computer tomography (CT). Two cases are described to illustrate this option for preoperative diagnosis by CT and US. A tubular, annular structure with ring enhancement after application of dye along the anatomical course of the ovarian vein seems to be characteristic for POVT.
