Abstract:
Ovarian pregnancy is a rare event occurring in 1-3% of all ectopic pregnancies. Increased reporting might be due to the wider use of intra-uterine devices, ovulatory drugs and assisted reproductive techniques. Though ovarian pregnancy has a distinct pathology, it can be a source of clinical and intraoperative diagnostic difficulty. We report two cases of ovarian pregnancy - one primary and one secondary - that came to our notice within six months span. Unlike tubal ectopic and secondary ovarian pregnancies, patients with primary ovarian pregnancy are likely to experience success in future intra-uterine conception and negligible risk.
