Fourth Consecutive Ectopic Pregnancy- Beating the previous number
Singhal, S.R. & Sangwan, V.
Abstract
Recurrent ectopic pregnancy is not very uncommon. There are few case reports of
consecutive three ectopic pregnancies. We present an interesting case of 26 years
old patient who presented with consecutive fourth ectopic pregnancy which is not
reported in literature. In this patient, for the first ectopic pregnancy left
salpingectomy and for the second ectopic pregnancy,
laparotomy followed by
conservative surgical treatment (milking of right fallopian tube) was done three
and two and half years ago respectively. Third ectopic pregnancy was managed
medically by giving one intramuscular injection of
50 mg of methotrexate. Present
one was fourth ectopic in right fallopian tube for
which, patient was given medical
treatment (intra muscular methotrexate) and she was
advised to undergo in vitro
fertilization.
