Abstract
Heterotopic pregnancy refers to the simultaneous occurrence of an ectopic gestation with an intrauterine one. The incidence of heterotopic pregnancy in the general population is about 1 to 30,000 pregnancies, but it has been increased due to the rise in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), pelvic surgery, intrauterine device (IUD), and assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). However, an interstitial or cornual pregnancy accounts for only 2-4% of all tubal pregnancies and has been described only rarely in the setting of a heterotopic pregnancy. We have experienced a case of heterotopic pregnancy with cornual pregnancy after IVF-ET which was successfully treated by selective fetal reduction (SFR) procedure while maintaining the viability of the intrauterine gestation. We presented with brief review of literatures.
Key Words: Heterotopic pregnancy, Cornual pregnancy, Selective fetal reduction
