[Extra uterine pregnancy associated with a tubal schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma haematobium. A case report from Niger].
We are reporting the case of a 21-year-old woman hospitalized for pelvic pains in a context of secondary amenorrhoea, whose examinations revealed a tubal pregnancy After surgical operation, the examination of the operative part showed a schistosomal tubal obstruction. Schistosomal tubal obstructions are the cause of ectopic pregnancies and infertility not to be forgotten in endemic areas. The implementation of a control programme based on chemotherapy by praziquantel will enable the reduction of their frequency.
