OVARIAN PREGNANCY: APROPOS OF A CASE

Introduction: Ovarian pregnancy (ON) is a rare form of pregnancy where the ovary is the site of embryo implantation. Among the 5% of extra-tubal pregnancies, ovarian pregnancy alone represents 2% of these cases, apart from rare locations [6]. Case Report: We report a rare case of spontaneous ectopic ovarian pregnancy of a 38-year-old woman, diagnosed with a ovarian pregnancy by ultrasound and treated by laparotomy in emergency obstetrical department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca. Clinical Discussion: The discovery of ovarian pregnancy dates back to 1614, thanks to the work of Mercureus and other researchers cited by Grall Women at risk of ovarian pregnancy are generally young, fertile, multiparous and IUD carriers The most common clinical symptoms are abdominal pain, menstrual delays and uterine bleeding. These pains are caused by the rupture of the ovarian capsule and the formation of a hemoperitoneum The therapeutic management of an ectopic pregnancy depends on several factors, such as the location of the pregnancy. Conclusion: Ovarian pregnancy (GO) is uncommon and remains a rare event compared to other types of GEU.
