Heterotopic pregnancy a case report.

A 27 year old patient was admitted with heterotopic pregnancy. Ultrasound scan done by her general practitioner had shown a 14 week viable intra-uterine pregnancy and fluid in the paracolic gutters. An exploratory laparatomy was done and she was found to have a ruptured right-sided ectopic pregnancy. Right partial salpingectomy was done. She had an uneventful post operative course. Ultrasound scan done at 18 weeks showed that the foetus was growing well.
