We hereby report a case of ruptured heterotopic pregnancy presenting at 6weeks of gestation and was managed with immediate laparatomy. The intrauterine pregnancy course was uneventful with delivery of a healthy baby at term by Caesarean section.

“…Interestingly there was coexistence of bilateral tubal and intrauterine single embryos in 4 cases among these triplets [19][20][21][22]. 25/37 reports described duplets, when 31 cases of HPs were presented with coexisting tubal and intrauterine single embryos [5,6,8,9,11,17,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. 2/37 reports described two cases of HPs with both triplets and duplets [11,17], and 4/37 reports presented 2 cases with duplets [10,24,26,29].…”

“…Laparoscopic US was also used to control an efficiency of surgical procedures, notably to visualize remaining parts of embryos and chorionic tissue in the fallopian tube and uterine cavity by liquid contrasting. Although abdominal and TV US was successfully applied in many cases of preoperative diagnosis of HPs [6,7], according to several reports abdominal and TV US scan failed to visualize tubal embryos in cases of HPs [2,8,9] including partly its efficiency in reports with two cases [10,11].…”
