The clinical presentation is varied, the symptoms are not specific. Proper diagnosis necessitates the complete evaluation of clinical signs, laboratory tests and imaging techniques. The effective treatment is mostly operative. The authors present the detailed management of a postpartum patient with an isolated abscess of the right ovary. Antenatal identification and treatment of cervico-vaginal infection along with strict antiseptic way of care during labor and delivery may result in less prevalent and less severe postnatal maternal inflammatory complications.
