Unilateral twin interstitial ectopic pregnancy. A case report.
An unusual case of twin unilateral interstitial pregnancy with premature rupture of membranes and leiomyomata uteri is described. A review of the literature reveals only two previous cases of this type. On admission, the patient was diagnosed as having an intrauterine pregnancy of 27 weeks' gestation, with documented premature rupture of the membranes having occurred. An ultrasound was performed revealing a fibroid uterus, an anterior placenta and an gestation. Septicemia ensued, and antibiotics plus pitocin was begun; however, no uterine response occurred. A culdocentesis revealed free intraabdominal blood. Laparotomy followed, revealing a ruptured twin interstitial pregnancy with placenta accreta and leiomyomata of the uterus.
