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

institution in a state of shock. Laparotomy
was proceeded suspecting ruptured
