Abstract:

Ectopic pregnancy continues to be one of the important reasons for maternal mortality. With the widespread and frequent use of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), the frequency of abnormally located pregnancies also rises. In this article, we presented a case of an ectopic pregnancy occurring in the right tubal stump after an intracytoplasmic sperm injection – embryo transfer performed on a 39 year-old patient with secondary infertility and bilateral salphingectomy. Although a bilateral salphingectomy was performed in IVF cycles for an early diagnosis in order to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality, an ectopic pregnancy in the stump should be definitely taken into consideration in cases where no intrauterine pregnancy is observed. Key Words: Ectopic pregnancy, Bilateral salphingectomy, Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)
