| Abstract |
|
Heterotopic pregnancy is defined as simultaneous intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy. Natural occurrence rate is very low occuring 1/30,000. However, with the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART), the risk increases up to 1/7,000. It is important to continuously monitor the patient using ultrasonography after ART for early detection of heterotopic pregnancy. Treatment options include surgical and medical interventions for the maintenance of intrauterine pregnancy. This is a case of full-term birth following selective fetal reduction using potassium chloride in a heterotopic pregnancy along with relevant literature review. |
