Abstract
Heterotopic pregnancy has been found in various forms but is still a rare event in spontaneous conception cycles with incidence of 1 in 30,000 pregnancies. Incidence has been increasing with assisted reproductive technologies to 1 in 7000 to 1 in 900 with clomiphene citrate. We report a case of a 36 yrs old patient who was treated for heterotopic pregnancy. She was a G3 P1 L 1 A1 with H O 2 months amenorrhea who underwent manual vacuum aspiration with curettage at a private clinic. She presented to our institution in a state of shock. Laparotomy was proceeded suspecting ruptured ectopic pregnancy and was found to be left side ruptured cornual pregnancy. Salpingectomy was done.
