Uncomplicated pregnancy and normal singleton delivery after surgical excision of heterotopic (cornual) pregnancy following in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer.

A 39 year-old woman with previous salpingectomy developed a symptomatic heterotopic right cornual pregnancy identified by transvaginal ultrasonography at six weeks' gestation. The patient had previously undergone an ipsilateral partial salpingectomy, and the conception was established four months later after one cycle of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, in vitro fertilization ( IVF) and embryo transfer. We performed immediate surgical excision of the ectopic implantation with conservation of the intrauterine pregnancy. Progesterone was administered as 200 mg/d lozenge (troche) plus 200 mg/d rectal suppository, maintained from day of embryo transfer through the perioperative period and until 11th gestational week. Following an uneventful obstetrical course, a healthy male infant was delivered by cesarean at term. In this report, we review the incidence and significance of heterotopic gestation in the context of IVF/embryo transfer. Risk factors for complex intra- and extra-uterine pregnancies are also outlined. Additionally, the clinical management of heterotopic pregnancy, including a novel approach to progesterone supplementation, is discussed.[1]
