Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 45
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Ovarian pregnancy is a very rare form of ectopic pregnancy.(1) It was first described in 17th century by Dr. Saint Monnissey. Incidence has been estimated around 0.5 - 3% of all ectopic pregnancies. (2) Incidence has increased in recent years due to increase in diagnosis which can be attributed to availability of USG facility, more sensitive β-hCG assay, diagnostic laparoscopy and risk factors associated with overall ectopic pregnancies. Use of IUCD has been disproportionately associated with primary ovarian pregnancy with incidence range being 57 - 90%.(3-7) Diagnosis is done by both surgical and histopathological observations.(8) Usually, it ends in rupture in early stage.(9) Classical management is surgicalwedge resection or oophorectomy. Medical management has been reported to be successful in few cases.
