Abstract:
Ovarian pregnancy is a rare entity among ectopic pregnancies. Its diagnosis and management are not always easy. It is a particular pathology, the clinician is confronted with a poor clinical semiology and a difficult ultrasound diagnosis. The surgical criteria remain difficult to prove. We have compiled a case of ovarian pregnancy. The patient consulted our emergency room for pelvic pain, metrorrhagia and amenorrhea of nine weeks. The preoperative diagnosis was evoked by ultrasound which showed a right latero uterine image of 7*8cm at the expense of the right ovary. An emergency laparotomy was performed. Surgical treatment was radical after the failure of conservative treatment. Ovarian pregnancy is a rare entity of ectopic pregnancy which presents certain semiological peculiarities. Its diagnosis is difficult and is based on intraoperative findings. Its therapeutic management remains for the treatment of ectopic pregnancies, despite the progress of medical and surgical treatment.
