Primary ovarian twin pregnancy with one fetus progressing to term: Case report and review of literature

Abstract

A case of primary ovarian twin pregnancy is presented. A 30-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 2, was admitted to Medical College Hospital, Jabalpur, for postdated pregnancy with intrauterine fetal demise. Ultrasonography showed a break in the continuity of the uterus suggestive of a ruptured uterus. On laparotomy, twin ovarian pregnancy was discovered. One fetus was postdated, showing signs of maceration. The bones of the other fetus were discovered in the sac, suggestive of an autolysed fetus of approximately 26 to 28 weeks of gestation.

Concurrent ovarian and ipsilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies after a double embryo transfer: a case report

“…A review of the literature was carried out by searching Pubmed using the keywords: ovarian ectopic and primary ovarian pregnancy (in English). Several case reports and small case series were obtained, with a wide variety in the presentation of these ovarian pregnancies, ranging from a small adnexal mass treated with methotrexate [13,14], the presence of an ovarian twin pregnancy [15], to a term ovarian pregnancy delivered via laparotomy [16]. The largest case series reported in the literature to date includes 49 cases over a period of thirteen years [17], emphasizing the fact that ovarian pregnancy alone is still a rare entity.…”
