A rare case of simultaneous intrauterine and tubal pregnancy occurred after therapeutic abortion. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention led to the patient's recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Obstetrics
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Therapeutic abortion aims to terminate intrauterine pregnancies.
  • Simultaneous intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies are rare but critical conditions.
  • Post-abortion complications require vigilant monitoring and diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 35-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain 36 hours post-therapeutic abortion.
  • Initial assessment suggested a positive pregnancy test related to the recent termination.
  • Monitoring revealed intraabdominal hemorrhage, necessitating surgical exploration.

Findings:

  • Exploratory surgery identified a ruptured tubal pregnancy.
  • The patient had a coexisting intrauterine gestation and a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
