ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the early diagnostic key of ovarian pregnancy.METHODS:
A Retrospective case study of 31 cases of ovarian pregnancies treated between 1990 and 2007 at Kangnam St. Mary's hospital Catholic University of Korea was performed. The maternal age, obstetric history, clinical symptoms, sonographic findings, preceding factors, diagnostic modalities, and surgical treatment methods were investigated.RESULT:
31 ovarian pregnancies, diagnosed between 1990 and 2007, comprised (31/1176) 2.6% of all ectopic pregnancies. The most common sonographic finding was fluid collection surrounding the ovary and an ipsilateral enlarged ovary (83.9%). Presenting symptoms were similar to those of tubal pregnancies. Before 1997, wedge resection was done mostly by laparotomy (15/16 cases, 93.8 %) and from then on by laparoscopy (8/14 cases, 57.1%).CONCLUSION:
Ovarian pregnancy should be suspected in young woman with symptom of lower abdominal pain, history of pelvic adhesion and sonographic finding of fluid collection around ovary or enlarged ovary for an early diagnosis. Early diagnosis and management can preserve fertility and ovarian function.
