It is defined as the anomalous implantation of the fertilized ovule at the level of the ovarian parenchyma, which occurs in 0.5-3% of cases of ectopic pregnancy. This pathology is observed each more frequently, given its association with a history of PID, endometriosis, use of IUDs or other assisted reproduction techniques; It also has a mortality of up to 10%. Its clinical picture is usually variable and similar to other locations of ectopic pregnancy, which is why imaging studies play a fundamental role for its accurate diagnosis. Although multiple diagnostic criteria have been proposed, there is still little experience in this regard and very often it is usually confused with a tubal location pregnancy in previous imaging studies and confirmed its ovarian location at the time of surgery. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman, with a primitive diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, and her sonographic follow-up is described until the precise diagnosis of right ectopic ovarian pregnancy, proposing the use of the sign of "block mobility" to sonographic compression as a guideline fundamental.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
