title: Simultaneous tubal and intra-uterine pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
abstract: A case of simultaneous ectopic and intra-uterine pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is described. On day 56 after ET the tubal pregnancy ruptured, with massive hemoperitoneum. Following salpingectomy, the intra-uterine pregnancy continued to term when delivery was carried out by cesarean section owing to non-progress of labor and suspected fetal distress. The pitfalls in diagnosing a simultaneous pregnancy of this kind following IVF-ET are discussed.
