“…Although patients seeking treatment abroad are not prosecuted in their home country, the idea of law evasion and its negative connotation often compel them to deny having had such treatments. Although perfectly understandable this attitude has two immediate consequences: [1] it is impossible to truly estimate the phenomenon and [2] the difficulties that home country physicians have to face to assume the possible complications of treatments performed elsewhere, with the lack of information regarding such treatments.…”

A heterotopic pregnancy is a rare complication of pregnancy in which both extra-uterine (ectopic pregnancy) and intrauterine pregnancy occur simultaneously. The prevalence of heterotopic pregnancy is estimated at 0.6-2.5: 10,000 pregnancy. It is a challenge for obstetrician to manage the tubal pregnancy without interruption of intrauterine pregnancy. Here we describe a case who had left tubal alive ectopic pregnancy & also intrauterine alive pregnancy simultaneously after a natural conception. This patient was managed successfully with laparoscopic left salpingectomy, and intrauterine pregnancy has been continuing. There are some precautions during laparoscopic procedure & post operative period which can help for continuation of intrauterine pregnancy. In our clinical experience, this is an extreme rare disorder and we feel interest to report this case. A heterotopic pregnancy can result from a natural conception; it requires a high index of suspicious for early and timely diagnosis; a timely intervention can result in a successful outcome of the intrauterine fetus.
