title: Simultaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injection treated by conservative medical treatment. Interest of sonographic follow-up.
abstract: We describe a case of early bilateral tubal pregnancy diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasonography after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo transfer (ET). A follow-up by transvaginal sonography was done with a systematic second scan (5 days) after the first diagnosis of left tubal ectopic pregnancy in case of assisted conception procedure. This follow-up sonographic strategy permitted us to perform a conservative treatment for this case of spontaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy by two consecutive (left then right) in-situ methotrexate injections under vaginal ultrasonographic guidance without any complications.
