| Summary: | Bilateral simultaneous Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy (BTP) is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy. The incidence is higher in women
undergoing assisted reproductive techniques or ovulation induction. The clinical presentation is unpredictable and there are no unique
features to distinguish it from unilateral ectopic pregnancy. BTP continues to be a clinician’s dilemma as pre-operative diagnosis is
difficult and is commonly made during surgery. Treatment options are varied depending on site of ectopic pregnancy, extent of tubal
damage and requirement of future fertility. We report a case of BTP which was diagnosed during surgery and propose an algorithm for
management of such patients. |
