Abstract
Ovarian pregnancies represent between 1 to 6% of all ectopic pregnancies and remain a challenge for the diagnosis [1], even with technological advancements in imaging methods. It is estimated that this event occurs in up to 1:70.000 pregnancies and one of the consequences is the rupture at an earlier stage, associated with high rates of circulatory collapse and maternal fetal morbidity and mortality [2,3]. In relation to the ovaries, when diagnosed in early stages, most of them require surgical treatment; it can be conservative (wedge resection) or radical (oophorectomy). The first option can be destinaded to patients with reproductive desire or single ovary, and the second is limited to cases of advanced pregnancies.
