Abstract
Bilateral ectopic pregnancy is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy. We report a case of spontaneous bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy diagnosed intra operatively. A 30-year-old patient was admitted to the emergency room of N’Djamena mother and child hospital complaining of vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. Salpingectomy left tube and salpingotomy right tube were performed without complication and that histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis.
