Unruptured ovarian pregnancy following in-vitro fertilization: Missed diagnosis followed by successful laparoscopic management

Narvekar Sa et al. J Hum Reprod Sci. 2008 Jan.

Abstract

Ovarian pregnancy after in-vitro fertilization is rare and can be easily missed unless there is a high index of suspicion. Here we present such a case which was missed initially but was later successfully managed laparoscopically.

Keywords: In-vitro fertilization; laparoscopy; ovarian pregnancy.
