A Case of Abdominal Pregnancy Following In vitro Fertilization in a Patient with Previous Bilateral Salpingectomy
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Although most of the ectopic pregnancies after assisted reproductive technology (ART) are tubal, 10.8% are extra tubal and more difficult to diagnose. A careful ultrasound examination should be made on patients who undergo IVF-ET and the possibility of abdominal pregnancy should be kept in mind. Abdominal pregnancy can be regarded as either primary or secondary. Primary Abdominal pregnancy is when, to start with the blastocyst implants in abdomen while secondary is most commonly associated with early tubal rupture and subsequent implantation of blastocyst on to the peritoneal surface. We here present a case of abdominal pregnancy, following in vitro fertilization in a patient with previous bilateral salpingectomy.
