Abstract

Objective: To report a case of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) after the transfer of two embryos.

Design: Case report.

Setting: University hospital.

Patient(s): A 43-year-old multigravida with bilateral tubal pregnancy.

Intervention(s): Operative laparoscopy with right linear salpingostomy and left salpingectomy.

Main outcome measure(s): Laparoscopy revealed an unruptured left isthmic tubal EP and an unruptured right ampullary tubal EP.

Result(s): Pathology confirmed immature placental villi in the right tube and placental tissue in the left tube. The patient was discharged home without incident on the day after surgery.

Conclusion(s): This is a rare case of bilateral tubal pregnancy after the transfer of only two embryos. It is critical to perform a close inspection of the abdomen, pelvis, and contralateral tube after surgery for EP.
