Background: Synchronous (bilateral) ectopic preg- nancy is a very rare gynecological entity resulting in most cases from assisted reproduction techniques. Al- though few cases of bilater- al ectopic pregnancy have been reported in Nigeria, spontaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy in a woman with a diagnosis of bilateral tubal blockage and prior success- ful in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-E T) is paradoxically rare and, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported in Nigeria.
Case: A 37-year-old Nigerian woman presented with ruptured ectopic pregnancy associated with hemoperito- neum with previous diagnosis of bilateral tubal blockage and prior successful IVF-ET She subsequently under- went a laparotomy and the diagnosis of bilateral tubal pregnancy was made during surgery and confirmed by histology. Bilateral salpingectomy was done.
Conclusion: This was the first case of spontaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy in a woman with previous di- agnosis of bilateral tubal blockage and prior successful IVF-ET in Nigeria. There is no evidence-based guideline presently available on the management of bilateral ectopic pregnancy.
