LIMA, Tânia; DIAS, Cristina  and  OLIVEIRA, Teresa. Heterotopic Pregnancy: urgent ultrasonographic diagnosis. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.2, pp.160-161. ISSN 1646-5830.

Heterotopic pregnancy refers to the coexistence of intrauterine and extrauterine gestations, which can occur in two or more implantation sites. Although still a rare event, its incidence is increasing because of the use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART). The diagnosis is often delayed, which can lead to serious complications. We present a case of heterotopic pregnancy diagnosed in the emergency room in a pregnant woman with hypovolemic shock with the intrauterine pregnancy reaching term.

Keywords : Heterotopic pregnancy; Reproductive techniques; Hemorrhagic shock.
