Bilateral ovarian pregnancy after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in a patient with tubal factor infertility.
Primary ovarian pregnancy is very rare event after natural pregnancy or assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures. Although there are a few reports about unilateral ovarian pregnancy after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), there has been no report about bilateral ovarian pregnancy. Moreover, it is difficult to diagnose an ovarian pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer because of enlarged ovary, fluid collection in pelvic cavity, and its low incidence. We present a case of a patient who underwent IVF-ET due to tubal factor infertility, but the patient developed bilateral ovarian pregnancy and was performed both ovarian wedge resection through laparotomy.
