title: [Heterotopic pregnancy successfully treated at laparoscopy (case report)].
abstract: A case of spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy is reported that presented with 10 weeks of amenorrhea. Transvaginal ultrasound showed an intra-uterine gestational sac as well as left-sided tubal pregnancy. Operative laparoscopy and left salpingectomy was performed while the intrauterine pregnancy continued and resulted in a liveborn vaginal delivery at 36 week of gestation. The promising neonatal outcome suggests that laparoscopy could be an appropriate method to manage some carefully selected patients with heterotopic pregnancy.
