Abstract
- Heterotopic pregnancy, simultaneous intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy, classically was considered a exceedingly rare obstetrical phenomenon. But nowadays the natural incidence is increasing and especially in association with assisted reproductive technologies, such as use of variable methods for ovulation inductions, in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and gamate intrafallopian transfer. In spite of the difficult early diagnosis, which is potentially dangerous to the mother and fetus, the maternal mortality, morbidity and fetal loss is low when the diagnosis is made in timely fashion and proper management is achieved. The presence of a intrauterine pregnancy dose not exclude the possibility of a extrauterine pregnancy, and in women associated with assisted reproductive technologies, the possibility of a heterotopic pregnancy should be considered. We report a case of a heterotopic pregnancy following ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination with brief review of literature.
