Core Tip	Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare condition most commonly seen in postpartum women, presenting with acute abdominal symptoms that can mimic more common conditions like acute appendicitis, ovarian torsion, or ectopic pregnancy. The right ovarian vein is more frequently affected due to its anatomical characteristics, and symptoms typically include right lower quadrant abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Accurate diagnosis requires high suspicion and imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. In this case, surgical examination revealed a thrombosed right ovarian vein in a 35-year-old postpartum woman who had been initially diagnosed with acute appendicitis. Surgical excision of the vein, followed by anticoagulation therapy with Rivaroxaban, led to an uneventful recovery. OVT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of postpartum abdominal pain to ensure timely intervention and prevent complications. Early detection and appropriate management are key to favorable outcomes.
