BACKGROUND Ovarian pregnancy after assisted reproductive technology treatment has rarely been reported; ovarian pregnancy following intrauterine insemination (IUI) is even rarer, and only nine cases have previously been reported. METHODS We report a case of ovarian pregnancy rupture after ovulation induction and IUI. The patient presented with bilateral lower abdominal pain and was referred to the emergency department. Ultrasound examination revealed ovarian pregnancy and intraperitoneal bleeding. Laparoscopy revealed an ovarian pregnancy with hemoperitoneum, which was subsequently removed. Pelvic adhesions were detected intraoperatively, which were treated immediately. The patient spontaneously conceived an intrauterine pregnancy 3 mo later, which was ongoing at the time of writing this study. CONCLUSIONS Close attention should be paid to any history of pelvic inflammatory disease before commencing IUI treatment,and patients with such a history should be closely followed up after IUI. Early measurement of serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin levels and ultrasonic examination are essential for timely diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy after ovulation induction and IUI to avoid more serious complications.
