Case Report: Ovarian abscess following puncture of an endometrioma during ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval

S.L. Padilla

Department of Gynecology, Greater Baltimore Medical Center, Fertility Center of Maryland 110 West Road, Suite 102, Towson, MD 21204, USA

A 34-year-old white female patient with 11 years of primary infertility due to endometriosis underwent ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval for in-vitro fertilization. A right ovarian endometrioma was aspirated during oocyte retrieval. Two weeks after follicular aspiration, the patient developed acute abdominal pain and operative laparoscopy revealed a ruptured right ovarian abscess. She responded to laparoscopic drainage and intravenous antibiotics. The patient conceived during that cycle and has a single ongoing pregnancy.

Key words: endometrioma/infection/in-vitro fertilization/ovarian abscess/ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval
