About the Cover

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a rare condition, particularly in spontaneous pregnancies that follow assisted reproductive techniques (ART). This case report describes a 33-year-old female from Saudi Arabia, who is Gravida 2, Para 0+1. She conceived spontaneously after a history of male-factor azoospermia in her first marriage. An ultrasound examination showed the presence of two gestational sacs (GS) - one located in the uterus and the other on the left ovary, which confirmed the diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy. The patient then underwent an exploratory laparotomy with salpingostomy, which successfully managed the ectopic pregnancy. This case highlights the challenges involved in diagnosing and managing heterotopic pregnancies, particularly in the context of previous ART.
