Ovarian pregnan Cy ass OCiated with pelvi C adhesi Ons

Ovarian pregnancy is a rare entity. Making a definitive preoperative or even intraoperative diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy is difficult and the diagnosis is usually established by the pathologist. Rupture in the first trimester is the usual rule in ovarian ectopy. Thus, it continues to challenge practicing clinicians. The literature shows an association between intrauterine device usage and ovarian gestation. We present a case of ovarian pregnancy in a secundipara complaining of abdominal pain that also has pelvic adhesions. This case meets the four criteria of Spiegelberg and is interesting because of its rarity and association with adhesions, which makes diagnosis more difficult.
