Abstract

Heterotopic pregnancy is that intrauterine pregnancy is accompanied by a coexisting ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of this disease was very rare, but it has been increased considerably with increasing cases of assisted reproductive technologies and tubal injuries resulted from tubal surgery, endometriosis, and PID. These are prerequisites for diagnosis that close monitoring of early pregnancy including serial serum hCG level and transvaginal sonography. We experienced a case of term delivery in heterotopic pregnancy following natural conception, so report this case with brief review of literatures.
