Abstract

Bilateral simultaneous tubal pregnancy is a rare clinical event. The estimated incidence of bilateral simultaneous tubal pregnancy is 1/200,000 of live births following natural conception and 1/725 to 1/1,580 of all extrauterine pregnancies. Recently, the incidence has increased, because both pelvic inflammatory disease and the use of assisted fertility have become more common. We report a case of bilateral tubal pregnancy managed with unilateral salpingectomy and conservative methotrexate treatment in woman with ovulation induction by clomiphene citrate.
