Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Twin ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of both embryos outside of the endometrial lining occurring in 1 in 20,000 up to 1 in 125,000 pregnancies. Commonly, twin ectopic pregnancies occur inside the fallopian tube either unilateral or bilateral. Unless early diagnosis and interventions are made, it may rupture causing intraperitoneal bleeding with a high risk of maternal death. CASE REPORT: I am reporting a rare type of ectopic pregnancy: unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy with positive cardiac activity on the left side of the fallopian tube in a 30 years old gravida III para II mother. Left side salpingectomy was done for her and discharged from the hospital after two postoperative days. CONCLUSION: Twin ectopic pregnancy with a live embryo is a very rare type of pregnancy that needs a high index of suspicion to diagnose and treat early to prevent complications and maternal death.
