Infertility due to ovarian maldescent is extremely rare and diagnosis can be challenging in the absence of uterine anomalies. We present a case of infertility due to bilateral ovarian maldescent with normal uterine anatomy who conceived after in vitro fertilization and did not require removal of the ovaries. A 19-year-old woman presented with primary infertility. After three failed cycles of ovulation induction/intrauterine insemination and one failed cycle of fresh embryo transfer, the patient underwent laparoscopy, which showed bilateral ovaries above the pelvic brim. The patient conceived after second in vitro fertilization and delivered at 34 weeks. Accurate diagnosis of ovarian maldescent in a patient of unexplained infertility and normal uterus is crucial for successful follicular aspiration and infertility treatment. It is important to counsel patients about the benign nature of this rare entity and future fertility.
由于卵巢下降异常导致的不孕症极为罕见,在没有子宫异常的情况下,诊断可能具有挑战性。我们报告一例双侧卵巢下降异常但子宫解剖结构正常的不孕症病例,该患者在体外受精后怀孕,且无需切除卵巢。一名19岁女性因原发性不孕症就诊。在经历了三个周期的诱导排卵/宫内人工授精失败以及一个新鲜胚胎移植周期失败后,患者接受了腹腔镜检查,结果显示双侧卵巢位于骨盆边缘上方。该患者在第二次体外受精后怀孕,并在34周时分娩。对于不明原因不孕症且子宫正常的患者,准确诊断卵巢下降异常对于成功进行卵泡抽吸和不孕症治疗至关重要。向患者说明这种罕见情况的良性性质以及未来生育能力非常重要。
