Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Heterotopic gestations occurring in spontaneous conception cycles are rare. An incidence of in has been documented. However there is a rising rate mostly attributed to ovulation induction and assisted reproduction techniques where it occurs in to of all clinical pregnancies. A high index of suspicion and use of ancillary investigations will aid diagnosis. The management of this condition in a Jehovah s Witness presents an uncommon challenge as surgical intervention aims to salvage the intrauterine pregnancy whilst giving scrupulous attention to haemostasis. This is because blood transfusion is precluded in the management of haemorrhage in members of this sect. We present a case of heterotopic gestation that occurred spontaneously in a Jehovah s Witness she had emergency salpingectomy and subsequently had spontaneous vertex delivery of a live baby at term. |
