ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy (BTP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that is, often challenging to diagnose preoperatively. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present a case of BTP in a 25-year-old primigravid woman with a history of infertility due to polycystic ovarian syndrome. She was receiving letrozole when she presented with severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Initial evaluation revealed a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in the right fallopian tube, prompting an emergency laparotomy. During surgery, a second intact ectopic mass was discovered in the left fallopian tube, highlighting the diagnostic complexity of BTP. Management involved a salpingectomy on the right side and salpingostomy on the left to preserve fertility.

DISCUSSION:

This case underscores the importance of considering BTP in the differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies and the necessity for thorough preoperative imaging studies, namely ultrasonography and surgical exploration, to prevent missed diagnoses.

CONCLUSION:

BTP is a rare and challenging clinical entity that requires a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management. Early recognition, prompt intervention, and close surveillance are essential to mitigate the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.
