description | Uterosacral ligament (USL) is an uncommon site of implantation for abdominal ectopic pregnancies. This is the first case of USL heterotopic pregnancy post invitro fertilisation (IVF). The patient presented 6 weeks after a double embryo transfer with acute onset abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a suspected live tubal ectopic pregnancy with a viable intrauterine pregnancy on ultrasound. A diagnostic laparoscopy revealed an ectopic pregnancy implanted on the left USL which was resected and confirmed on histology. The patient was discharged well on postoperative day 2 with a viable intrauterine pregnancy. This case highlights the importance of considering non-tubal heterotopic pregnancies in the context of risk factors including IVF with double embryo transfer presenting with abdominal pain. |
