Advanced ovarian malignancy is a rare occurrence in pregnancy. Here we report a case of primary infertility presenting in early pregnancy following invitro fertilization with features of Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome unresponsive to treatment. Further evaluation revealed advanced ovarian malignancy. She was treated with chemotherapy followed by staging surgery at the time of elective cesarean at 35 weeks gestation. This case outlines the difficulties in diagnosis of ovarian cancer during pregnancy.

The management of venous thromboembolism and subsequent pulmonary embolism in pregnancy remains hugely challenging. In this case, we report the first use of a superior vena caval filter in pregnancy as an adjunct to pharmacological anticoagulation. This is the first reported use of a superior vena caval filter in pregnancy. We discuss the complexities of managing thromboembolism in pregnancy and the peri-partum period.
