Pitfalls in Diagnosing Heterotopic Pregnancy in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case Report at the Yaounde University Teaching Hospital (Cameroon).

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a dizygotic twin pregnancy in which one gestational sac is intrauterine and the other is extrauterine. The prevalence of HP is unknown in Cameroon where the diagnosis is difficult and usually fortuitous like in other resource-poor settings. We herein depict pitfalls and delays in the diagnosis and management of a ruptured heterotopic pregnancy at the Yaounde University Teaching Hospital.
