Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Ovarian pregnancy, a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, occurs when a fertilized ovum implants within the ovary.
  • It presents diagnostic challenges, often mimicking other gynecological conditions.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding 17 weeks post-LMP, with pelvic exam suggesting 3.5 months gestation.
  • Ultrasound revealed an empty uterus and two non-viable fetuses (14 weeks) in the left ovarian region.
  • Exploratory laparotomy identified an intact gestational sac within the left ovary.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed a bilateral twin ovarian pregnancy.
  • The patient underwent a unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Implications:

  • Ovarian pregnancy, though rare, must be considered in the differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
  • Early ultrasonographic detection is key for timely diagnosis and management.
  • Advanced cases, including multiple gestations, can present with unruptured sacs.
