Heterotopic pregnancy, the rare coexistence of intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy, can compromise maternal health. This report details two cases, highlighting successful treatments and favorable outcomes for intrauterine pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Heterotopic pregnancy, defined as the simultaneous occurrence of an intrauterine pregnancy (IP) and an ectopic pregnancy (EP), is a rare condition.
  • While often associated with assisted reproductive technologies, it can occur spontaneously, posing significant risks to maternal prognosis.

Observation:

  • Two cases of heterotopic pregnancy were treated at the University Hospital Hassan II of Fez over a one-year period.
  • Pelvic pain was the primary presenting symptom in both patients.
  • Ultrasound was instrumental in suspecting the diagnosis in both instances.

Findings:

  • One patient received conservative laparoscopic treatment.
  • The second patient underwent a salpingectomy via mini-transverse laparotomy.

  • Both patients experienced favorable outcomes for their intrauterine pregnancies.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management of heterotopic pregnancy are crucial for preserving maternal health.
    • Conservative and surgical interventions can lead to successful intrauterine pregnancy outcomes.
    • Further research into spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy is warranted given its rarity and potential severity.
