title: Bilateral tubal pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
abstract: We have presented a case of bilateral tubal pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. The most likely cause, in our opinion, is 'spray effect' which was discussed. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy must always be kept in mind in IVF&ET program, due to its high incidence of occurrence compared to natural conception. Although the incidence of bilateral tubal pregnancy is not high, one should identify the opposite adnexa when tubal pregnancy is diagnosed in an IVF&ET patient. Early diagnosis is essential for prevention of significant maternal morbidity and mortality.
