Concomitant abdominal and intrauterine pregnancy after in vitro fertilization in a woman with bilateral salpingectomy. A case report.

BACKGROUND

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event, and the concomitant presence of an intrauterine pregnancy is very exceptional.

CASE

A case of concomitant abdominal and intrauterine pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) occurred in a woman with bilateral salpingectomy. The abdominal pregnancy was successfully treated surgically, with preservation of the intrauterine pregnancy.

CONCLUSION

A careful ultrasound examination should be performed on women who have undergone IVF-ET, and the possibility of abdominal pregnancy should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
