Septic pelvic thrombophlebitis is a serious but rare complication of pelvic infection. It appears more often on obstetric patients than gynecological patients. There is no specific symptom and often presented as acute abdomen. If the diagnosis and treatment are delaed it may cause serious and mortal complications. Diagnosis is mostly possible retrospectively with pyrexia and abdominal pain response to combination of antibiotic and anticoagulant treatment but with no response to antibiotics alone. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful in diagnosis. In treatment, anticoagulant treatment is suggested in addition to broad-spectrum antibiotics. In our paper, we presented a case with septic pelvic thrombophlebitis which mimics acute abdomen in postpartum period. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAbdomen, acutePelvic infectionPostpartum periodTromboflebitArticle10.5336/gynobstet.2014-424602542872912-s2.0-84945177607N/A
