Abstract:
Heterotopic pregnancy, defined as the simultaneous occurrence of intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies, is rare in a natural cycle. Assisted reproductive techniques have resulted in an increased incidence. Identification of an intrauterine pregnancy can divert attention from the possibility of a concurrent ectopic pregnancy. We describe such a case with the educational features.
