An interesting case of heterotopic pregnancy following spontaneous conception

Dr. Garg Vineeta, Bhatnagar Beena

Abstract :

Heterotopic pregnancy is defined as the coexistence of intrauterine and extra uterine gestation. The incidence appears to be on rise following ART and rising incidence of PID1. The incidence was originally estimated on theoretical basis to be 1 in 30,000 pregnancies. However more recent data indicate that with the advent of assisted reproductive techniques , the incidence is approximately 1 in 7000 overall and as high as 1 in 900 with ovulation induction2.
