Abstract :
Background: Bilateral ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition and is divided in two
subgroups, primary and secondary, based on history of assisted reproductive technology.
Case Presentation: A 30 year old primigravid woman with history of infertility and
ovulation induction presented to a hospital in Kashan in year 2013. She had vaginal
bleeding, abdominal pain and ultrasound findings suggested early pregnancy. Due to
high titer of β-HCG, gestational trophoblastic disease was proposed and D8C was
done in referral and admission to gyneco-oncology ward in Tehran. Repeat sonography
suggested ectopic pregnancy in left side and repeat β-HCG level showed an
increase of 19435 mIU/ml. Laparotomy findings revealed bilateral ampullary ectopic
pregnancy. Bilateral salpingostomy followed by one course of methotrexate was prescribed.
Conclusion: Bilateral ectopic gestation should be considered as a rare differential
diagnosis for ectopic pregnancy. In this study, bigger size and rupture in left side
was observed.
