Abstract:
Primary ovarian pregnancy is comparatively rare in ectopic pregnancy. Ovarian pregnancy occurs in corpus luteum cyst and is usually accompanied with the rupture of ovary and a massive hemoperitoneum. It presents as a hemorrhagic ovary and frequently misdiagnosed as a ruptured corpus luteum. Spiegelberg's criteria should be fulfilled for the diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy. Two cases of ovarian pregnancy were presented with a brief review of the literatures.
