Abstract
- Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare event, occurring less than 1 : 30,000 pregnancies in natural conception cycles. With assisted reproduction techniques, however, this incidence increase to between 1 : 100 and 1 : 500. It is known to present with a variety of symptoms and signs after leading to a delay in establishing the correct diagnosis. Delay in diagnosing and surgery can jeopardize both maternal well-being and survival of the intrauterine fetus. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate surgery contribute to the favorable outcome for the mother and surviving infant. We experienced a case of heterotopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, which carried the intrauterine pregnancy to term delivery following rupture of the tubal pregnancy, with hypovolemic shock. So we report this case with review of literatures.
