“…An intraligamentary pregnancy is considered as an abdominal pregnancy implanted between the two layers of the broad ligament (Cordero et al 1994;Mittal et al 1994;Chia et al 1993). It is usually claimed that intraligamentary pregnancy arises from the rupture of a tubal pregnancy on the mesosalpingeal border (Paterson and Grant 1975).…”

“…Maternal mortality is as high as 20%. 4 It is either due to primary implantation of the zygote on the broad ligament or followed by secondary implantation from the fallopian tube, ovary or other peritoneal surface. In this case primary focus of ectopic pregnancy could not be found elsewhere except the broad ligament.…”

Broad ligament ectopic pregnancy is a rare and serious form of extrauterine pregnancy with a high risk of maternal mortality. There are no specific clinical features. Ultrasonography may help in diagnosis, but definitive diagnosis is made only during surgery. Authors are reporting a case of 30 years female G3P1L1A1 seven weeks pregnancy with previous lower segment cesarean section and previous history of right sided salpingectomy with no complaints. Ultrasound was advised to know the location of sac this time, in which, she was diagnosed as a case right sided unruptured live ovarian ectopic pregnancy. On examination, signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy were absent. On laparoscopy, she was diagnosed as a case of right sided live unruptured broad ligament ectopic pregnancy as her right ovary was absent because of previous surgery. With advances in sonography and laparoscopic skills, more cases can be diagnosed in the first trimester and can be safely managed laparoscopically.

“…Broad ligament EP is a subtype of abdominal pregnancy entailing implantation of the gestational tissue between the leaves of the broad ligament. 2,3 There is a great variation in the clinical presentation of this rare form of EP; ranging from being asymptomatic to rupture in labor at term. Absence of reliable clinical features makes the diagnosis more challenging and requires a high index of suspicion from the clinicians.…”
