Ahmad Talal Chamsi and Ashraf Dawood

Heterotopic pregnancy is defined as multiple gestation in which one gestational sac is intrauterine while the other is extra uterine- most commonly tubal ectopic pregnancy. An interstitial ectopic pregnancy is one of the most lifethreatening types of ectopic gestations, with a mortality rate that can reach 6-7 times higher than that of the ectopic pregnancies in general. In our case report, heterotopic pregnancy occurs after a spontaneous conception cycle. A 34-year-old Gravid 3 Para 1 + Abortion 1 woman with a gestational age of 8 weeks + 3 days by LMP. She was diagnosed and managed laparoscopicaly by right salpingectomy with preservation of intrauterine pregnancy. She was discharged on the second postoperative day and followed-up regularly at the obstetrics clinic with uneventful antenatal follow up. This might be the first case to be presented from Middle east with such scenario.
