[Ovarian pregnancy. Four cases with review of the literature]

The authors report four cases of ovarian pregnancies operated in Central Maternity of Rabat (Pr Chaoui) during a period from 1979 to 1989. In the light of literature data, they have tried to trace out the particularities of this form of extra-uterine pregnancy. Clinical symptomatology of ovarian pregnancy very often remains similar to that of tubary GEU as well as the data of complementary exams with the exception sometimes of coelioscopy. The treatment, because of diagnostic delay, is annexectomy in all cases. But it is desirable to carry out a conservative treatment in the form of partial ovariectomy. Only pathological anatomy can give the diagnosis a sense of certainty.
