Combined intra-uterine and extra-uterine pregnancy associated with mild hyperstimulation syndrome after clomiphene ovulation induction.
We report a combined intra-uterine and tubal pregnancy associated with mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) following ovulation induction by clomiphene. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was originally missed until rupture occurred. OHSS confused the clinical picture, the important diagnostic feature being the fall in the haemoglobin concentration. The patient had a left partial salpingectomy and the uterine pregnancy progresses normally.
