Heterotropic pregnancy: A report of two cases

Abstract

Heterotropic pregnancy is reported infrequently in Nigeria. Two cases were managed within the span of five yearswith the successful delivery of a live termbaby in one of the patients.Ahigh clinical index of suspicion is required because an intra uterine gestation does not rule out a co-existing ectopic gestation especially in this region with high twinning rate and tubal disease.
