A case of combined interstitial and intrauterine pregnancies after
bilateral salpingectomy and in-vitro fertilization with embryo transfer is
reported. The case was incorrectly diagnosed ultrasonographically as
intrauterine triplets at 7 weeks gestation. The patient suffered from
intra-abdominal bleeding at 14 weeks gestation. At laparotomy, a ruptured
left interstitial pregnancy with a non-viable fetus was found in the left
abdominal quadrant. The uterine defect was successfully repaired and
gestational contents and blood were evacuated from the abdominal cavity.
The intrauterine twin pregnancy progressed without incident, and a
Caesarean section was performed at 36 weeks gestation, resulting in healthy
male and female infants.
