Abstract
Aetiology of heterotopic pregnancy is the series of multifactorial causes. Here we report as heterotrophic pregnancy following embryo transfer. A 28 year old nulliparous who had 3 embryo transfer 6 weeks prior, came to the hospital with complaints of pain in abdomen, nausea, vomiting with syncopal attack. On utrasonography 2 gestational sac was seen 1 intrauterine and 2nd in the adenexa. Emegency laparotomy was performed and left salpingoopherectomy was done. Patient withstood the procedure well. Post procedure patient was uneventful and delivered a full term baby with normal birth weight. It is a rare phenomenon. Early diagnosis is required to avoid any fatality. Patient must be counseled regarding the dreadful consequences of embryo transfer.
