Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Aim: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the placement of the fertilized ovum in an area other than the endometrial cavity. A one-sided twin EP, on the other hand, is a rare case. It is estimated to occur in approximately 1 in 200 EPs and 1 in 125,000 spontaneous pregnancies. Materials and methods: In this case, we presented the diagnosis and treatment process of a 40-year-old patient who applied to our clinic with complaints of delayed menstruation, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, and then diagnosed with twin EP. Results, conclusion: EP is the most important cause of death in the first trimester. This risk increases in twin EP. Therefore, timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment options are critical. Especially in pregnancies in the first trimester, anamnesis, laboratory, TA and TV USG evaluation should be performed.
