Show authors biography
A nulliparous woman in the first trimester of pregnancy presented with abdominal pain and syncope to the emergency room. She was studied in the gynecology service and a pelvic ultrasound suggested a right ectopic pregnancy. She underwent a laparotomy which disclosed a bilateral tubal dilation. A bilateral salpingectomy was performed. Histology confirmed a synchronious bilateral ectopic pregnancy by demonstrating chorionic villi in both tubes.
