Abstract

We present a case of a spontaneous live monochorionic monoamniotic twin tubal ectopic pregnancy detected by transvaginal ultrasound scan after medical therapy with single dose of methotrexate failed. The incidence of this type of ectopic pregnancies is probably arising due to the increasing use of the assisted reproduction techniques, but they are underdiagnosed and mistreated, as surgical approach seems to be the most adequate in these cases.
