Thrombosis of the ovarian vein is a rare condition that occurs mostly post-partum. Generally, it is presented as diffused abdominal pain with or without fever. When this occurs on the right, it can mimick one or several causes of acute right iliac fossa pain, especially appendicitis.

We hereby report the case of a 23-year-old female with an acute right iliac fossa pain, at 12 days post-partum of a normal delivery, for whom a computed tomography came back for a right ovarian vein thrombosis. The appendix was radiographically unremarkable on CT.
