Abstract

Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is very rare and usually occurs following ovulation stimulation. Moreover preoperative diagnosis is very difficult. We are presenting a case of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy occurring spontaneously. Hence careful follow-up with combination of color Doppler and serum beta HCG estimation of patients after laparoscopic or open surgery for ectopic pregnancies is needed to avoid such unusual event.

Highlights

  • Ruptured extra-uterine pregnancy is still an important cause of maternal mortality. 97% of extra-uterine pregnancy is tubal

  • We are presenting a case of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy occurring spontaneously

  • There are no cases reported in which preoperative diagnosis of bilateral ectopic pregnancy was made [1]
