Heterotopic Pregnancy (A Case Report)

Abstract

Heterotopic pregnancy is a condition in which 2 pregnancies occur at 2 different implantation sites simultaneously. Although it is a rare but a diagnostic challenge due to variable and complex clinical, laboratory and radiological findings. Here, we present a case of heterotopic pregnancy. A 28 years housewife, married for 5 years, presented with gestational amenorrhea for 2 months, mild lower abdominal pain and vaginal spotting. Pelvic USG revealed a single, alive intrauterine pregnancy and a cystic area/sac at right adnexa with a large surrounding hematoma. Laparoscopic intervention was done and large salpingectomy was done. Post-operative recovery was uneventful and post op ultrasonography showed a viable intrauterine pregnancy.
