Background Congenital anatomic abnormalities of fallopian tubes and ovaries are rarely reported. Herein, we describe four cases of abnormal ovarian descent during laparoscopic surgery with abnormal anatomy of fallopian tube, without abnormal uterine development and urinary system abnormalities. These cases are analyzed by their clinical features and their effects on reproductive function. Case presentation For patients with undescended ovary, the upper part of the unilateral/bilateral ovary decline was much higher than that of the common iliac vessel bifurcation, and the fallopian tube on the same side opened in the para-colonic sulcus. Among four patients, two cases had primary infertility, one case had tubal pregnancy rupture and bleeding, and one case had uterine leiomyoma. The development of uterus was normal in all the four patients, and there was no abnormal development of urinary system. During the infertility examination, hysterosalpingography (HSG) suggestion of oviduct lift was a sign for possible undescended ovarian. The pelvic B-ultrasound examination was limited to discover ovarian maldescent. Conclusion Laparoscopy was the gold standard for the diagnosis of poor ovarian decline. When B-ultrasound prompts one-sided or double-sided "ovary display is unclear" or detects "shrinking small ovaries", it might be ovarian maldescent. When there is periodic post-sacral spinal pain, MRI positioning or HSG can be used for diagnosis. |
