Two cases of postpartum ovarian thrombosis (POVT) are reported Case 1: A 40-years-old woman with twin pregnancy was underwent caesarean delivery on 36 weeks’ gestation. She developed wound pain and fever up on day 6 and underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT), which revealed thrombosis of left ovarian and renal vein and pulmonary embolism. Case 2: A 26-years-old woman with twin pregnancy was underwent caesarean delivery on 37 weeks’ gestation. She complained of chest pain on day 2 and underwent CE-CT witch revealed right ovarian vein thrombosis extended into inferior vena cava. It is difficult to infer POVT from symptoms. The diagnosis of POVT can be made accurately with CE-CT.
