ABSTRACT
Background: The heterotopic pregnancy is considered a rare condition that represents
a diagnostic challenge both clinical and ultrasound requiring a high index of
suspicion, the therapeutic approach and the surgical route will depend on the clinical
and hemodynamic conditions of the patient, being able to achieve a successful continuity
of intrauterine gestation when timely interventions are made.
Clinical case: Patient with a known diagnosis of intrauterine gestation of 11.1
weeks who was admitted to the emergency room due to vaginal bleeding, with clinical
signs of shock and pelvic ultrasound that reports a suggestive image of right tubal
heterotopic pregnancy and abundant free liquid. Resuscitation is performed with blood
components and surgical management with emergency laparotomy, draining massive
hemoperitoneum, requires salpingectomy and resection of omentum compromised,
with good evolution and progression of intrauterine gestation to term
Conclusions: The treatment of choice for ectopic pregnancy remains surgical. The
route of admission depends on the hemodynamic conditions of the patient. Laparoscopy
is the reference standard of treatment and laparotomy is the option when laparoscopy
is not possible due to technical, logistical or hemodynamic instability derived from
tubal rupture.
