Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of the non-tubal ectopic pregnancy. Primary ovarian ectopic pregnancy means  implantation of the gestational sac in the ovary. Its incidence after natural conception ranges from 1 in 2000 to 1  in 60 000 deliveries and accounts for 3% of all ectopic pregnancies. It ends with rupture before the end of the  first trimester. The preoperative diagnosis of this type of pregnancy is not easy. It is characterized by a poor  clinical symptomatology and a difficult ultrasound diagnosis but confirmed by histological findings. For the  management, Conservative laparoscopic surgery involves ovarian resection or aspiration of the pregnancy with  coagulation of the implantation site. However, in case with profuse intraperitoneal bleeding an oophorectomy or  salpingo-oophorectomy may be necessary to achieve hemostasis. We report here one such uncommon case of  ovarian ectopic pregnancy. Our patient is a 27 years old nulliparous woman came with severe hypogastric pain.  During laparoscopy, ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed, and wedge resection of the ovary was only done. Histopathological examination confirmed it to be an ovarian ectopic pregnancy. Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 10, No. 2: July 2019, P 183-185

Ovarian ectopic pregnancy is an extreme rare entity in all the cases of ectopic pregnancies. Before, the end of first trimester, it usually ends with rupture. It is such a unique and rare presentation that only 3% of all ectopic pregnancies are reported due to an ovarian cause. In this case report, authors have presented a patient with ovarian ectopic pregnancy which was found unruptured, live at the second trimester. The patient presented with abdominal pain and after routine check-up and ultrasound abdomen, patient was taken for an emergency explorative laparotomy and the ovarian pregnancy was excised and sent for histopathological examination, the histopathological examination further confirmed the diagnosis of the same. In some researches it has been seen that ovarian pregnancies are rising, considering that, the findings of the report may help frame future diagnostic and treatment guidelines.

Primary ovarian ectopic is a rare variant of ectopic pregnancies. It is commonly confused with tubal pregnancy aborted over ovary, hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, ruptured corpus luteal cyst. The women with ovarian ectopic generally presents early because of early onset hemorrhage in ovary. This is a rare case where woman with ectopic pregnancy presents at 13 weeks. The clinical picture is also highly unusual with just spotting and fainting attacks at the end of first trimester to make a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. The laparotomy done showed an unruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy and with 350 cc hemoperitoneum. Salpingoopherectomy was done and the ectopic mass was removed as hardly any ovarian tissue was left to conserve the ovary. Hence, clinicians should be cautious enough to keep a differential diagnosis of ectopic even at advanced gestation.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is an acute emergency in obstetric if not timely diagnosed and timely treated. Ectopic pregnancy is leading cause of death in first trimester. Ectopic pregnancy can be managed surgically or medically. Medical management with Methotrexate administration avoids anesthesia in surgery, is cost effective and also offers success rate comparable to surgical management. Aim and objectives were to study the role of methotrexate in ectopic pregnancyMethods: This will be a retrospective observational study conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology department of AMC MET medical college. Study group constitutes of 30 females with ectopic pregnancy. Preliminary blood investigations, ultrasonography and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (b-hcg) level will be tested. Patients will be treated with single dose of methotrexate 50 mg/M2. Follow up b-hcg level will be done after 48 hours. Response and tolerance to methotrexate will be monitored.Results: The success rate of methotrexate therapy in our study was 83.33% (n=25) and 16.66% (n=5) required surgical intervention with tubal ruptured and abdominal pain.Conclusions: Methotrexate treatment of ectopic pregnancies is safe and effective with no major side effects. It has the advantage of tubal conservation and saves patients from surgical intervention.

IntroductionEctopic pregnancy is the most life threatening emergency in first trimester of pregnancy. Laparoscopic methods for treating ectopic pregnancy have made it preferred surgical technique over laparotomy. Most of the ectopic pregnancies can now be treated by laparoscopy.ObjectiveTo study outcome of laparoscopic management of ectopic pregnancy. MethodologyA hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted at Birat Medical College and Teaching hospital from May 2013 to April 2016. The informed consent was taken from patients. The collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed SPSS.ResultsAll 89 cases of ectopic pregnancies were managed by laparoscopy. All were tubal pregnancies. Salpingectomy was done in 88 cases and salpingostomy in one case without any significant postoperative complications. There was no maternal mortality and no conversion to laparotomy  ConclusionTreatment of ectopic pregnancy by laparoscopy is effective with decreased postoperative morbidity.Birat Journal of Health Sciences Vol.2/No.1/Issue 2/ Jan - April 2017, page: 106-109

ABSTRACT Ovarian pregnancy is the most common type of non-tubal ectopic pregnancy. Ovarian ectopic pregnancy incidence after natural conception ranges from 1 in 2000 to 1 in 60,000 deliveries and accounts for 3% of all ectopic pregnancies. Here, we report a rare case of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. A 30 years old, G2P1+0L1 was admitted with amenorrhea of 1½ months and severe pain abdomen. Self urinary pregnancy test (UPT) was positive. Ultrasonography (USG) revealed it sided adnexal mass. Emergency laparotomy was done and a diagnosis of ovarian ectopic pregnancy was made.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs in 2% of all pregnancies. Primary ovarian pregnancy is a rare entity and accounts for only 0.15-3% of all ectopic gestations. It usually ends with rupture before the end of first trimester. The diagnosis is often made intraoperatively and confirmed histopathologically. A 23 year old female presented with severe hypogastric abdominal pain with no history of amenorrhea. She underwent a laprotomy and a right sided salpingo-oopherectomy and the excised material was sent for histopathological examination. Chorionic villi were seen within the ovarian stroma suggesting the likely possibility of an ovarian pregnancy. Ovarian pregnancy is rare; although awareness of this condition is important for reducing its associated morbidity and mortality. This highlights the importance of histopathology for the accurate diagnosis of this condition.

Background:Ovarian pregnancy is classified as a rare cause of non tubal pregnancy wherein maximum ends in rupture in early months of pregnancy. Sign and symptoms often mimic tubal rupture. To distinguish between the two based on presenting complaints and ultrasonography findings is difficult. Generally confirmation of ovarian preganancy is done only after histopathological examination due to its similarity in presenting complaints to tubal pregnancy. Medical management has also been tried for unruptured ectopic pregnancy. Case:Presenting a rare case report of ruptured left ovarian pregnancy. pt was 26yrs old multiparous with previous two cesarean 7yrs and 4 yrs back with one MTP kit taken 6 months back with pain in left iliac fossa. USG findings were suggestive of tubal rupture, however during laparotomy ruptured left ovarian pregnancy was diagnosed followed by left oopherectomy later on confirmed by histopathological examination.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is a common clinical condition. Diagnosis and managementof this condition is necessary in due to day practice. Methods: A cross sectional study on ectopic pregnancy was conducted in Sir SalimullahMedical College and Mitford Hospital (SSMC & MH) , Dhaka, with the objective to analyzethe risk factors and assess the results of management with respect to maternal morbidityand mortality of ectopic pregnancy during the last two years. Result: Fifty patients were admitted with ectopic pregnancy from 1st January 2008 to 31stDecember 2010.Frequency of ectopic pregnancy were 1.5% of total 3252 pregnancies. Riskfactors were found in 45% of cases. Surgical treatment were performed in total 43 patients.There was one heterotrophic pregnancy and one case of abdominal pregnancy. Four patientswere given intramuscular Methotrexate and two un-ruptured ectopics resolved spontaneouslyafter by expectant management. Conclusion: Conservative management was an option but surgical treatment was donemore often because of late referrals. Screening of high risk cases, early diagnosis and earlyintervention would reduce the morbidity in ectopic pregnancies. Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2018; Vol. 33(1) : 49-53

Background: Ectopic pregnancy, a pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the endometrial cavity, is an important cause of maternal mortality, especially in developing countries. It can be managed medically using methotrexate. In Ethiopia, limited evidence exists regarding the treatment outcome of this approach.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted based on medical records of ectopic pregnancies managed medically using methotrexate. The data of women who had unruptured ectopic pregnancy and who were managed medically in the study period at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College were included. Data were extracted from patients’ medical records and analysed using SPSS software.Results: During the 5-year period 2015 to 2019, 81 women with unruptured ectopic pregnancy were managed medically using methotrexate with 93.8% (n=76) success. Methotrexate was administered intramuscularly to all patients in either single dose or multiple doses. Five out of the 81 patients underwent surgical intervention for either ectopic rupture or persistent ectopic mass. There were no fatal complications.Conclusion: Methotrexate is a successful and safe alternative to surgical management of unruptured ectopic pregnancy in our settings. It should be given a trial in patients who meet the selection criteria in a setting ready for emergency surgical intervention and blood transfusions.

Background : Ectopic pregnancy is the most common cause of death among women during the first trimester of pregnancy despite the progress made with early diagnonsis. It occurs at a rate of 1 to 2 % that of live births. In Mauritania, EP is a public health issue mostly effecting young women. Objective : to evaluate the diagnosic abilities and the management of EP. Methods: This study is transverse descriptive and was carried out in the maternity of Nouakchott’s teaching hospital. The aim of this study was to provide data on the epidemiological profile, dignosis, management and prognosis of ectopic pregnancy. During the period from May 2013 to April 2014, 44 cases of ectopic pregnancies were collected. The collected data was analysed by means of SPSS version 20, Microsoft Excel 2007. Result: The incidence of EP was 0.99% coefficient to 1 EP per 100 live births. EP management represented 7.3% emergency surgery. The average patient age was 29.84 ± 5.988 years. The most affected age group was the 25-34 year olds (61.4%). Multigravida were more affected with a rate of 80%. Patients with an EP commonly presented with pelvic pain (91% of our patients), late in menstruation (86.3%) and vaginal bleeding (61.3%). Pelvic ultrasound was performed in 41 patient coefficient to 93%. The treatment was surgical by laparotomy in all of the cases. The surgical treatment was radical in 93.2% : Salpingectomy was performed in 86.4% of the cases, adnexectomy was performed in 6.8% of the cases.Conservative treatment was performed in 3 patients : 2 cases of salpingotomy and 1 case of tubal expression. In most cases, the postoperative evolution was simple. Conclusion: Until this day, ectopic pregnancy is a severe disease. despite the progress made with early diagnonsis in many cases the treatment is surgical with all its consequences and especially in the developing countries including mauritania. Improving the therapeutic management is above all improving the diagnostic procedure in a very early period. And for decades we keep saying that ectopic pregnancy: thinking about it often is not thinking enough.
