Ovarian pregnancy and IUD.
Two cases of ovarian pregnancy associated with an IUD in situ are described. One of the cases documents the first reported case of ovarian pregnancy coexisting with a Copper-T device; thus the range of types of IUDs combined with ovarian pregnancy is further extended. The consciousness of the physician of the coexistence, in combination with the wide use of updated diagnostic means, especially estimations of low values of HCG and laparoscopy, should ensure early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies, including ovarian ones.
