Abstract

PALENQUE ROCABADO, Germán. Simultaneous bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy, regarding a case. Gac Med Bol [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.2, pp.143-145.  Epub Dec 01, 2023. ISSN 1012-2966.  https://doi.org/10.47993/gmb.v46i2.586.

Ectopic pregnancies occur in 1 in 150 pregnancies, being a frequent pathological entity, however simultaneous bilateral ectopic pregnancy is a very rare event. The case presented deals with a 34-year-old patient, referred to a health center in a rural area with the preliminary diagnosis of: pregnancy of 8 weeks of gestation due to FUM, in addition to hemorrhage in the first half of the pregnancy. After performing an ultrasonography, images suggestive of a right adnexal ectopic pregnancy were concluded, performing a surgical intervention on the patient, finding blackish tumors in both annexes, confirming a simultaneous bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy in the pathology service. The clinical picture is practically the same as in unilateral ectopic pregnancy, however the diagnosis of bilateral tubal pregnancy is very difficult, laparoscopic treatment of suspected tubal pregnancy is usually the most frequent method for the diagnosis of bilateral tubal pregnancy.

Keywords : Bilateral ectopic pregnancy.
