Increasing incidence of ovarian pregnancy.

This paper presents the results of a review of seven ovarian pregnancies occurring during an 11 year period (1976-1986). The prevalence of the disease is higher than that expected either for the number of deliveries or for all ectopic pregnancies. The presence of etiological factors such as pelvic inflammatory disease, previous abdominal surgery, endometriosis or use of IUD, is considered. Four of these cases presented in actual users of IUD and one in an infertile woman previously diagnosed of endometriosis. The clinical pattern was similar to that recorded for tubal ectopic pregnancies. The role of IUDs and other risk factors in the apparent increase in the number of ectopic pregnancies detected is discussed. Measures to increase accuracy in the detection of early ovarian pregnancies are proposed.

Trends in ectopic pregnancy in New Zealand.

The rate of ectopic pregnancy in New Zealand from 1965 to 1983 was examined and shown to have increased 3-fold from 4.3 per 10(3) total births in 1965 to 13.6 per 10(3) total births in 1983. Over this period the risk was greatest for the older conceiving woman, with a woman aged 35-44 years 2.2 times more likely to experience an ectopic pregnancy than a woman aged 15-24 years.

Ectopic pregnancies: rising incidence rates in Northern California.

In a population of about 300,000 Northern California women aged 15--44, the age-adjusted incidence of ectopic pregnancy rose from 55.5 to 84.2/100,000 women, 1972--1978. The ratio of ectopics to 1,000 deliveries-plus-spontaneous abortions rose from 9.4 to 14.8. The change occurred mainly in women under age 30, and was observed in seven of the eight hospitals in the area. There was no alteration in the frequency of hospitalized pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); salpingitis decreased over the years studied; and tubal sterilization events remained constant at around 0.9 per cent per year of women aged 15--44.

Morphogenesis of cerebral matrix ectopies in human fetus and newborn.

The subject of investigations was genesis of periventricular, cerebral matrix ectopies in human fetuses and newborns. The morphologic and histochemical analysis concerned the embryonal elements of the ventricular wall: namely neuroepithelium with membrana limitans externa and suporficial layer of the germinal matrix. It has been distinguished four stages in the development of ectopic changes: 1) atrophy of neuroepithelium, 2) superficial necrobiosis with disruption of membrana limitans externa, 3) egsophytic neuroglial ectopies with organization or sequestration within the ventricular light, 4) neuroeptithelial inclusions in the periventricular zone. The disclosed, destructive changes in superficial layers of the germinal matrix as well as their glial organization suggested that reparative processes that could be an evidence of the passed perinatal hypoxia occur in the ventricular light.
