Abstract

Heterotopic pregnancy is defined as the coexistence of intrauterine and extrauterine gestation. The incidence is low and estimated to be 1 in 30,000 of spontaneous pregnancies though it is becoming commoner with assisted reproductive technique. It can be a life-threatening condition and can be easily missed with the diagnosis being overlooked. We present a rare case of spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy with live intrauterine gestation and ruptured left adnexal gestation.
