Abstract
Ectopic pregnancy is implantation of an embryo at sites other than its normal location - the uterine cavity. The most common site for ectopic implantation is the fallopian tube, other rare sites being ovarian ectopic, cervical ectopic and caesarean scar ectopic. Ovarian ectopic pregnancy accounts to around 3% of all ectopics, incidence being 1 in 2000 to 1 in 60,000. In this rare form of ectopic the implantation and development of embryo occurs in the ovary and eventually ends with rupture before the end of first trimester causing catastrophic results due to hemorrhage and hemostatic imbalance and sometimes even death. This case report is of such a rare form of ectopic pregnancy reported at ISO-KGH, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Government Medical College, Omandurar Government Estate, Chennai.
