Abstract
Tubal ligation is a common method of contraception, and pregnancy after this method of sterilization is uncommon. We here present a report of Tubal pregnancy after a Bilateral Tubal Ligation (BTL). The case notes of a 35 year Nigerian female who presented with a tubal pregnancy after BTL and a review of literature on the subject was used. A 35-year-old para 4=0 had bilateral tubal ligation during caesarean section for her last childbirth. She presented 3 years later with a six weeks history of irregular vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain and had a laparotomy for a right tubal ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy after bilateral tubal ligation is uncommon. Females who undergo BTL should be adequately counseled on the possibility of failure of this procedure for contraception.
