Tubal pregnancy after clomiphene treatment: are you sure is not bilateral?

Abstract

The estimated prevalence of ectopic pregnancy (EP) is 1–2% worldwide. Bilateral tubal pregnancies represent the rarest form of heterotopic pregnancy, and spontaneously conceived are extremely unusual, as many cases are derived from assisted reproductive techniques. We describe a case of bilateral tubal pregnancy after clomiphene therapy and sexual intercourse in which the second EP was not contemporarily revealed.

异位妊娠（EP）在世界范围内的患病率估计是1-2%。双侧输卵管妊娠代表异位妊娠的最罕见的形式, 自发发生的更极其少见, 因为很多情况下是来源于辅助生殖技术。我们描述了1例未克罗米芬治疗性交后的双侧输卵管妊娠, 且第二个异位妊娠没有及时显现。
