Cervical pregnancy is rare and heterotopic cervical pregnancy is more uncommon ever. Assisted Reproduction Technology enhances these pregnancies. The diagnosis and the treatment which are in emergency can be sometimes difficult. This article is a case report of a triplet heterotopic cervical pregnancy after embryo transfer, and a scientist review of the literature found in MEDLINE. To date, in ...

Heterotopic caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a coexistence of an intrauterine pregnancy with an ectopic pregnancy located in a caesarean scar. The are no universal treatment guidelines to manage this extremely rare condition. Vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of heterotopic CSP, but most of the cases are asymptomatic. The management of heterotopic CSP is difficult especially in patie...

Background: A heterotopic pregnancy is defined as the presence of a concomitant intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy. Its estimated incidence is 1/30,000 in spontaneous pregnancies. It is also reported to be as high as 1 in 3900 when the pregnancy is a result of assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, clomiphene citrate (CC) could be associated with a higher rate of heterotopic preg...

Heterotopic Pregnancy (HP) is the simultaneous development of an intra-uterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy. In natural cycle, it is a very rare event. With the increasing popularity of ovulation induction performed during assisted reproductive techniques, its incidence has significantly increased. However, diagnosis is often delayed because of its rarity and difficulty. Heterotopic pregnanc...

Heterotopic triplet pregnancy is an exceptionally rare medical condition. The broad use of assisted reproductive technologies has contributed to the increase of ectopic and subsequently heterotopic pregnancy rate, masking a life-threatening condition for the gravid and the intrauterine pregnancy. We describe a case of a woman with heterotopic triplets at 9(+4) gestational week following transfe...

BACKGROUND Although heterotopic gestation is common in assisted reproductive techniques, it is very rare in natural conception and clomiphene induced pregnancy. Diagnosis and appropriate intervention of heterotopic pregnancy requires a high index of suspicious. CASE In this paper a case of heterotopic pregnancy in a 30-year old woman with hemoperitoneum from ruptured tubal pregnancy with live...

INTRODUCTION Cornual heterotopic pregnancy is a very rare condition; its incidence remains unknown. We report a case of cornual heterotopic pregnancy managed by laparoscopy and guided methotrexate injection into the cornual sac. CASE PRESENTATION A cornual heterotopic pregnancy was diagnosed at 9 weeks of amenorrhoea in a 31-year-old healthy woman. Ultrasound examination showed a well-formed ...

Introduction Before the advent of assisted reproductive technologies, the incidence of heterotopic pregnancy was estimated to be in 1 out of 30,000 pregnancies in the United States. With interstitial pregnancy comprising only 2.4% of ectopic pregnancies, spontaneous heterotopic interstitial pregnancies are exceedingly rare. Case A 27-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 3 para 1011) with a histor...

The object of this report is to discuss diagnosis and treatment of heterotopic pregnancies. Thirteen consecutive cases referred to our institution are reviewed. In 54% of cases the heterotopic pregnancy was asymptomatic. The ectopic pregnancy was visualized prior to surgery in 69% of the cases. The treatment was surgical in every case and performed laparoscopically in 77% of cases. Ten patients...
