The objective of this study is to summarize the experiences of our department in the management of heterotopic pregnancy (HP) and to analyze the influence of different treatment modality on the viable intrauterine pregnancy. There were 64 patients diagnosed as HP in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in our hospital between January 2003 and June 2014, 52 HP patients with viable intraut...

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a rare condition, with an incidence of 130,000 after spontaneous conception, which increases to 11,000-1100 following assisted reproduction technology (ART), but potentially life threatening, since the rupture EP may lead major internal bleeding, hemoperitoneum and hypovolemic shock.

Heterotopic pregnancy once considered a rare phenomenon is now thought to be more common as the overall incidence of ectopic continues increase. We report series six cases heterotopic pregnancies seen in our department over period seven years. Two these occurred after assisted reproductive techniques; while other were spontaneous pregnancies. The clinical presentation was varied with late diagn...

Ipsilateral ectopic pregnancy occurs rarely and may be difficult to diagnose in low resource settings where there are no diagnostic tools. Few cases have been reported in the literature but none in our region. CASE PRESENTATION We present an unusual case of a ...

The wide use of assisted reproductive technologies has contributed to the increased risk of ectopic and subsequently heterotopic pregnancy (HP) rate. Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a very rare and life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy that can also present as HP. We are describing here a case of 34-year-old woman who presented with bleeding heterotopic cervical pregnancy (HCP). The concomit...
