    Summary

    Intrauterine devices (IUDs) rarely lead to ovarian pregnancies. This report details three such cases, contributing to the 53 documented instances, and reviews existing literature on this rare obstetric complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are highly effective contraceptives.
    • While IUDs significantly reduce the risk of uterine pregnancy, rare ectopic pregnancies can still occur.
    • Ovarian pregnancy is an exceptionally uncommon form of ectopic gestation.

    Observation:

    • Three new cases of ovarian pregnancy were identified in women using an intrauterine device.
    • These cases contribute to the limited global data on this specific pregnancy complication.
    • The presence of an IUD in these cases warrants further investigation into potential mechanisms.

    Findings:

    • The reported cases increase the total documented instances of ovarian pregnancy with IUD use to 53.
    • The literature review synthesizes information on the incidence, potential etiological factors, and clinical presentation of ovarian pregnancy.
    • Analysis suggests a potential, albeit rare, association between IUDs and ovarian implantation.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness among clinicians regarding the possibility of ovarian pregnancy in IUD users.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms linking IUDs to ovarian implantation.
    • This data contributes to the ongoing evaluation of contraceptive safety and efficacy profiles.
