title: [Combined intra- and extrauterine pregnancy: a rare complication in legal abortion].
abstract: A case of combined intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy as rare complication of legally induced abortion is reported. After several ultrasonic examinations, a concomitant ectopic gestation was suspected and subsequently confirmed on laparotomy and on microscopic examination. The early preoperative diagnosis of combined gestation is nowadays mainly based on its exact localisation by vaginal ultrasound. The ultrasonic signs and the predisponsing factors for the development of combined gestation will be discussed.
