Abstract

Heterotopic pregnancy is a potentially life threatining condition and an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Risk of heterotopic pregnancy is increased by assisted reproductive techniques (ART). We report such a case of heterotopic pregnancy after embryo transfer in a primary infertile 38 year old woman. Sixteen days after detection of intrauterine pregnancy by ultrasound, the patient admitted to emergency service with severe abdominal pain. She underwent surgery and her preoperative diagnosis was undetermined intraperitoneal bleeding. Ruptured heterotopic pregnancy diagnosed after diagnostic laparotomy and salpingectomy performed at the same procedure. Her postoperative status and the course of pregnancy unremarkable. A healthy baby was delivered at 38 week of gestation without any further complication. Heterotopic pregnancy is an important cause of acute abdomen after embryo transfer. Although it’s diagnosis and management is challenging, with proper diagnosis and treatment, potential risks can be minimized and concomitant intrauterine pregnancy can be preserved.

Özet

Hayatı tehtit eden bir durum olan heterotopik gebelik mortalite ve morbiditenin önemli bir nedenidir. Yardımcı üreme tekniklerinden dolayı heterotopik gebelik riski artmıştır. Biz, 38 yaşında, primer infertil bir kadında embryo transferi sonrası oluşan bir heterotopik gebelik vakasını bildirdik. İntrauterin gebelik kesesi görüldükten 16 gün sonra acile ciddi karın ağrısı ile gelen vaka nedeni bilinmeyen kanama sebebiyle laparotomi oldu. Laparotomi esnasında rüptüre ektopik gebelik saptanınca aynı seansda salpenjektomi uygulandı. İşlem sonrası dönemi ve gebelik süreci sorunsuz geçen hasta 38. haftada sağlıklı bir bebek doğurdu. Heterotopik gebelik embriyo transferi sonrası gelişen akut batının önemli bir nedenidir. Tanısı ve yönetimi karmaşık olsa da, uygun teşhis ve tedavi ile potansiyel riskler en aza düşürülür ve eş zamanlı intrauterin gebeliğin devamı sağlanabilir.
