摘要
Introduction: The implantation of a fertilized ovum outside of the normal uterine cavity is referred to as ectopic pregnancy, most frequently in the fallopian tube. Unilateral tubal twins are a rare diagnosis since they occur in around 1 in 125,000 spontaneous pregnancies. Presentation of case: We report a case of A 39 -year- old female (Gravida 6, para 6) who presented to the emergency department with continuous abdominal pain and with vaginal bleeding, Transvaginal Ultrasound,and positive hCG levels suggested having an ectopic pregnancy that was managed by surgical laparotomy that revealed a twin ectopic pregnancy. Discussion: By using transvaginal ultrasound and urine/serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) tests, early ectopic pregnancy identification has improved, reducing related morbidity and death. In our case, a gestational sac was detected during a vaginal ultrasound and the high level of bHCG (63,000) suggested an ectopic pregnancy. Surgical management was chosen because the pregnant sac was on the verge of bursting. Conclusion: This case serves as a reminder of the importance of considering the potential for having twin ectopic pregnancies.
