Bilateral tubal and twin pregnancies in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
Three cases of unilateral tubal twin pregnancies and four cases of simultaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy recorded in a Nigerian University Teaching Hospital were reviewed. The incidences were 1 in 68 and 1 in 51 ectopic pregnancies respectively. High twinning rates within the environment and tubal damage from pelvic infections were considered as possible etiologic factors.
