  • Title: [SUCCESSFUL LAPAROSCOPIC TREATMENT OF HETEROTOPIC PREGNANCY AFTER ICSI / FREEZE EMBRYO TRANSFER - A CASE REPORT.].
    Author: Andreeva P, Dimitrov I.
    Journal: Akush Ginekol (Sofiia); 2016; 55(4):52-55. PubMed ID: 29370495.
    Abstract:
    The coexistence of extrauterine and intrauterine or haeterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a rare condition with reported incidence of 1 in 8000 to 1 in 30 000 pregnancies in natural conceived pregnancies, but with the widespread application of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) the incidence of HP in women with ART has risen to about 0.09% to 1.00%. We have reported a case of a 36 old woman, pregnant in 9 gestation week, gravidity 2, 0 para, who have achieved a pregnancy after in-vitro fertilization - embryo-transfer of two freeze embryos, developed after an ICSI procedure with donor eggs. The patient attended our clinic because of acute abdominal pain. She was evaluated by trans-vaginal sonography and coexistence of ectopic tubal and intrauterine pregnancy has been confirmed. Emergency laparoscopy was carried out. Left tubal ectopic pregnancy and hemoperitoneum (1200 ml) were diagnosed. Left salpingectomy was performed. At present, the patient is at 24 gestation week and the pregnancy is developing in a proper manner. We report such a case due to the increase of the awareness to the condition and the possibility of a successful treatment by a laparoscopic surgery. Intrauterine pregnancy does not exclude extrauterine pregnancy especially in cases after in-vitro fertilization.
