Popis: We present the case of a patient who developed an acute abdomen after recurrent rupture of an ovarian cyst in the first trimester of pregnancy. After the third rupture and recurrence of the cyst, we performed laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy at 13 weeks of gestation. She went on to deliver a healthy neonate via elective cesarean section at 38 weeks of gestation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a recurrent rupturing ovarian cyst during pregnancy. Our patient's case suggests that idiopathic recurrent rupture of an ovarian cyst can occur during early pregnancy. Careful follow-up and timely surgical intervention for recurrent rupture of an ovarian cyst are needed in order to reduce the risk of pregnancy loss.
