“…19 Unilateral tubal twin pregnancies (Table 1) after ICSI-ET have only been reported in a small number of cases. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] The most reliable technique for diagnosing EP is TVUSG. Intrauterine pregnancy sac loss with elevated β-hCG levels is consistent with abnormal pregnancy.…”

Background: Unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy is extremely rare in natural pregnancy, with an incidence rate of only 1 in 200,000-2,500,000, represents a major health risk for reproductive-aged women, leading to even life-threatening complications. There is a lack of data on the prevalence of this rare disease after in-vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. Case Report: We present a case of a 51-year-old woman with rare unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy after frozen embryo transfer treated with bilateral salpingectomy, followed by a review of the literature. Conclusion: Twin ectopic pregnancy is a very rare type of pregnancy that requires a high index of suspicion to diagnose and treat early to prevent complications and maternal death.

Introduction Unilateral twin ectopic pregnancies are exceedingly rare, occurring in one in every 250,000 pregnancies. While clear guidelines exist regarding the management of singleton ectopic pregnancies, no such recommendations exist for multi-gestational ectopic pregnancies. Case presentation A 36-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 1, presented to the emergency department at 6 weeks and 4 days of gestation with a live twin ectopic pregnancy diagnosed on a dating ultrasound scan. Given the high likelihood of rupture, she underwent a laparoscopic salpingectomy and was discharged home the following day. The patient was followed-up with weekly serum β-hCG tests, to ensure there was no remaining pregnancy. Discussion While the morbidity and mortality associated with singleton ectopic pregnancies has gradually declined, the risk of rupture is higher in twin ectopic pregnancies and rupture is estimated to occur in 30–50% of cases. Surgical intervention remains the mainstay of treatment for these pregnancies.
