Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare clinical condition where both intrauterine (IU) and extra uterine pregnancy coexists. In a non-ART set up diagnosis of tubal ectopic pregnancy becomes challenging and difficult with coexisting intrauterine viable pregnancy, even when presents with ruptured form. Author is presenting one of his challenging experience in managing successfully such type of heterotopic ruptured tubal pregnancy in first trimester where extra uterine ruptured tubal pregnancy was addressed by laparoscopic salpingectomy under spinal anaesthesia with minimal uterine manipulation to continue intrauterine pregnancy till term and thus had a successful pregnancy outcome.

“…In addition, disruption of the oviductal peristalsis following the hormonal changes caused by CC may lead to ectopic embryo implantation (Rizk et al, 1991). In the present case, there were no risk factors such as ART, pelvic inflammatory disease, or IUD.…”

Article HistoryReceived 17 / 01 / 2013 Accepted 06 / 06 / 2013Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is the occurrence of an extrauterine pregnancy simultaneously with an intrauterine pregnancy. It is a rare event, with an incidence of 1:3.889.Complications of extrauterine pregnancy range from acute abdominal pain to hemorrhagic shock and other life-threatening consequences. Herein, we report the case of a gravida 1 para 0 woman with heterotopic pregnancy who underwent right salpingectomy.

“…4 This rise has been attributed to two factors: the increased frequency of ectopic pregnancy that has occurred over the past decade, and, more importantly, the use of ovulation induction and IVF. The prevalence of combined preg· nancy in this latter group has been reported as high as 1%.…”

“…The prevalence of combined preg· nancy in this latter group has been reported as high as 1%. 4 Causes for the high rate of heterotopic pregnancy in patients undergoing assisted reproduction have been in IVF patients, embryos may be subject to retrograde placement in the tubes as a result of excess pressure in the transfer process, leading to ectopic pregnancy. In addition, it is common practice to transfer multiple embryos into the uterus after IVF; this obviously in· creases both the probability of multiple gestations and the risk of heterotopic pregnancy in this group of patients.…”
