“…Three of those patients achieved pregnancy after correcting other factors, and only two remained infertile, one having bilateral ovarian maldescent and the other associated unicornuate uterus. Their results were congruent with other reports in the literature [5,6].…”

“…As in case 1, all the reported cases presented an elongated fallopian tube whose fimbriated end had a normal relationship with the undescended ovary [2,[4][5][6][7]. This fact suggests that a migration disorder in the müllerian duct is associated with the undescended ovary and that congenital uterine anomalies are not only due to an abnormal fusion of the müllerian ducts, but we can hypothesize that an abnormal migration could affect their normal fusion [4].…”

Undescended ovary is a rare disorder that can be associated with müllerian malformations. There is an unclear association with infertility and malignant disease. When an ovary is not in its normal location, it is sought in other locations above the pelvic brim. This is important in cases of undetermined cyclical abdominal pain, follicle aspiration and surgical castration. MRI has proven to be the best imaging method for finding an ovary in an anomalous position and for disregarding associated malformations. We report two patients with unilateral ovarian maldescent, one of them with Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. A review of the literature is included.
