ABSTRACT
Primary ovarian pregnacy is a rare form of ectopic pregnacy of which an estimated overall incidence is highly variable, but improved diagnosis of acute hemoperitoneum of ovarian may reveal a higher incidence than reported earlier. Ovarian pregnancy is uaually accompanied with the rupture of the ovary and massive hemoperitoneum. It usually presents with abdominal pain, menstural irregularities, vaginal bleeding, a palpable adnexal mass and other symptoms which are very similar to those of tubal ectopic pregnacy and hemorrhgic corpus luteum cysts. Risk factors to ovarian pregnancy include a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), prior pelvic surgery, and use of an intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUD). We have experienced three cases of ovarian pregnancy, which are presented with a brief review of the literature.
