From the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pathology at the University of Montreal, Hopital Saint-Luca, Quebec, Canada.

Abstract

This is the third case report of an ovarian pregnancy associated with the Dalkon shield intrauterine device (IUD). The recent theories of mechanism of action of the IUD are described. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy with the IUD is discussed. The authors stress the fact of being alert to the possibility of an ectopic ovarian pregnancy with the IUD in the absence of suggestive signs and symptoms of pregnancy.
