Abdominal pregnancy on the bladder wall following embryo transfer with cryopreserved-thawed embryos: a case report.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the occurrence and management of an abdominal pregnancy of the bladder after ET with cryopreserved-thawed embryos.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
Infertility program in a tertiary care hospital.


METHODS
A woman with secondary infertility and a history of breast cancer.


METHODS
Transfer of cryopreserved-thawed embryos was performed, serial serum hormonal measurements were obtained, methotrexate was given IM, operative laparoscopy was performed.


METHODS
Documentation of abdominal pregnancy after transfer of cryopreserved-thawed embryos and its successful laparoscopic management.


RESULTS
Abdominal pregnancy occurred after ET of cryopreserved embryos in a patient with mild tubal disease. Diagnosis and management using laparoscopy were achieved.
