Abstract:
Traditionally, the management of symptomatic ovarian cysts in pregnancy has been limited to laparoscopy or laparotomy with the associated morbidity. However, in select patients requiring intervention, the risks of surgery may be minimized with sclerotherapy. We present the first case report, to our knowledge, of ethanol sclerosis of an ovarian cyst during pregnancy. A description of the surgical technique to complete such a procedure is provided as well as a brief review of the current literature with respect to the use of sclerotherapy for the management of ovarian cysts.
