Background:
Risk of heterotopic pregnancy following bilateral salpingectomy has increased considerably due to the widespread use of assisted reproductive technology. Poor understanding of this condition often causes delayed or missed diagnosis.Objective:
In this report, we describe the case of a 30-year-old pregnant woman with lower abdominal pain lasting for half a day and a history of bilateral salpingectomy. Two embryos had been transferred 21 days preceding her presentation.Methods:
Case report.Results:
Laparoscopic surgery revealed intraperitoneal hemorrhage and proper ovarian ligament pregnancy confirmed by histopathology. Viable intrauterine pregnancy was verified 3 days later by ultrasound examination.Conclusion:
Heterotopic pregnancy is a serious condition that may be life-threatening. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for heterotopic pregnancy in patients receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer after bilateral salpingectomy.
