SPONTANEOUS BILATERAL AMPULLARY TUBAL ECTOPIC PREGNANCY IN AN ETHIOPIAN WOMAN: CASE REPORT

Abstract

Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy (1), usually occurs following ovulation stimulation. Preoperative diagnosis is very difficult. We are presenting a case of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy occurring spontaneously in an Ethiopian woman. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was made on clinical bases and ultrasonography. However, at surgery bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed & confirmed on pathological examination. As to our knowledge there is no reported case of bilateral ectopic pregnancy in Ethiopia based on extensive literature search we did.
