Ovarian Pregnancy after IVF and Embryo Transfer – Case Report

Abstract

SummaryOvarian pregnancy is one of the rarest types of ectopic pregnancy. The first case of it was reported by St. Maurice in 1689, and since then, few cases have been described in the literature. The incidence of ovarian pregnancy has recently increased due to the wider use of intrauterine devices and assisted reproductive techniques. The authors discuss the case of a 36-year-old primigravid woman who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and amenorrhea. The patient has a two year history of primary infertility treated by in vitro fertilization. The ovarian pregnancy as the initial diagnosis was made during the operation and the final diagnosis was confirmed by the histopathological finding, which fulfilled Spiegelberg criteria.
