    "abstract": "Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is associated with high risk of venous thromboembolic events mainly pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis of the lower limbs. Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare and serious condition usually seen in the immediate postpartum period and other conditions including pelvic inflammatory diseases, gynecological malignancies, hypercoagulable states, and few cases to date have reported ovarian vein thrombosis as a complication of COVID-19 infection. Patient with ovarian vein thrombosis usually presents with fever and lower abdominal pain that can mimic acute surgical abdomen and high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis. We report a case of a 41-year-old Asian female presented to our hospital with fever and acute lower abdominal pain. Laboratory findings show positive COVID-19 test and high D-dimer. Patient underwent computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis and a confirmed diagnosis of right ovarian vein thrombosis was made. Patient was treated with anticoagulation and empirical antibiotics and her symptoms have significantly improved.",
