Abstract:
Ectopic pregnancy (EP) constitutes a prevalent medical-surgical emergency in gynecology. While the fallopian tube remains the predominant site of ectopic pregnancies (EPs) in 93% of cases, the ovary represents the second most common location. Ovarian pregnancy (OP) accounts for 3% of all EPs and occurs in approximately 1 in 2100 to 1 in 7000 pregnancies. OP denotes a distinct form of pregnancy where implantation occurs within the ovarian tissue. Notably, OP may manifest differently from other EPs, with reports of pregnancies progressing to the second trimester or even reaching full term. The twisted nature of ovarian pregnancy makes it exceptional. In this case study involving a 29-year-old primigravida who presented with acute severe pain to the emergency department, leading to the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP) with ovarian localization, we aim to examine the factors influencing ovarian pregnancy (OP). Our objectives include elucidating the clinical, etiological, histopathological, and evolutionary features of OP, as well as outlining diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies for managing this specific condition.
