ISOLATED OVARIAN THROMBOSIS UNDER CORONAVIRUS INFECTION

Abstract

COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-19) is associated with an increased risk for thrombosis due to endothelial dysfunction and hyper-activation of the immune system induced by the virus. Most cases of venous thromboembolism associated with COVID-19 are either pulmonary emboli or deep vein thromboses. Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare condition most commonly seen in the post-partum period. This report describes a case of COVID-19–associated ovarian vein thrombosis in a nonpregnant woman with no evidence of underlying inherited coagulopathy.
