Abstract

Multiple gestations after human menopausal gonadotrophin (HGM) stimulation are not uncommon. Such pregnancies are at great risk from abortion, premature labour, placental insufficiency and intra-uterine death with maceration. The present case report concerns a successful sextuplet gestation. Since recent advances in management were utilised and may have contributed to the successful outcome, the case was deemed to be worth reporting.
