Abstract
Preoperative diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy is difficult, especially when ectopic component is chronic and the precise effect of chronic tubal pregnancy on coexisting intra-uterine pregnancy or ongoing pregnancy rates is not known. We present the case of heterotopic pregnancy with a chronic tubal pregnancy incidentally diagnosed during term cesarean delivery in infertile woman conceived after ovulation induction using sequential clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin, and timed coitus. Chronic tubal pregnancy might not affect the intrauterine gestation or the mother negatively in non-ruptured cases.
Key Words: Chronic ectopic pregnancy, Tubal pregnancy, Heterotopic pregnancy, Clomiphene citrate, Human menopausal gonadotropin
