Abstract

This study reports a case of unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy in a 30-year-old female patient. The investigated woman with one miscarriage in her second pregnancy was referred for ultrasound in the seventh week after ten days of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. The gestational sac was not seen on a follow-up scan inside the endometrial cavity. On the other hand, monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with two fetuses at about six weeks was seen in the medial right adnexa, which suggests an ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, the patient underwent salpingectomy surgery.
